I Never Wonder Why I Love You

i never wonder why i love you why animals can migrate with no map why do some moths as well as butterflies able to choose wings up or down yet they never vary in their species the sun rises in the East the full moon is gravid with romance birds innately build nests without a blueprint nary a lesson, born with their own song all of these things point to a natural order of what is and meant to be that which is tried and true what has worked thru the ages what most of all endures when i am holding you my arms feel filled beyond measure everything in this world is where it belongs i love you because i belong with you as does the evening's song to the nightingale come morning the lark's duty to sing dawns' glory the roosters claim upon the rising sun a mockingbird's mating call fills the darkness i see the natural order that surrounds my life i never feel a reason to wonder why you belong with me and i with you the Earth and Moon, lip to lip in a celestial dance, lost in each others' gaze insouciant to a surrounding universe it is said that if you never had a question you will never need an answer and when i look into your eyes i never see a why i see every reason of why i love you 9/18 Kismet There's a love that's divine and it's yours and it's mine like the sun And at the end of the day we should give thanks and pray to the One, to the One Have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there is no one else above you written by Van Morrison from the song Have I Told You Lately That I Love You

"i see the natural order that surrounds my life/ i never feel a reason to wonder why/ you belong with me and i with you'.... Beautiful lines which sum up a mysterious and divine truth. I am always surprised and delighted to see this natural order in the universe....a clear evidence that there is a mastermind behind everything ! I too am in love with it. Thank you Timothy for sharing these thoughts with us!

indeed nature speaks well of our Creator...was studying the Transcidentalists yesterday and like some of the Romantics...their nature grasps the beauty and wonder of the natural world

Lovely writing my friend: "come morning the lark's duty to sing dawns' glory the roosters claim upon the rising sun a mockingbird's mating call fills the darkness i see the natural order that surrounds my life" -- when love is the subject, there is a universe of inspiration...and to think, we need travel no further than a receptive heart. Great read! Thank you.

For years I thought the song by Van Morrison was speaking of the love between a man and a woman .Later I came to the conclusion it was a love song to God as who else could no one be above as is part of the lyrics message.Another beautiful penning on your part Mr. Ray.
