*** Devoted  Desire ***

Beloved!  We are circling the world — 
Blooms on a headwind, open petals
Swirling.
 My desire is seen immediately
Rising — directed to peaks — soon floats,
    Easing down
				 to surf
				          the ocean’s
Tall walls of mighty waves…and go forth
,To coast on sweeter breezes
Above beaches crowded with
    mounds of sand dollars,
    where crabs scurry on spindly legs
    as if confused.

Visions of our love joined are 
Treasure I keep locked within.
All the notes and motions of my desire
Stay removed — from all, but you, dearest one:
My destiny, my love.  Our vignette 
I bar from any capture 
In the mirroring ocean’s surface below,
Or in the diamond black midnight’s 
Drawing silhouetes to ring the full moon.

From my youth, I grew always sensing you ~ 
Somewhere in my future, in that some place
    toward which my heart’s yearning
Began its journey,
Searching, for you
With all my breath and prayers;
With my desire ascending in anticipation
On a greater, graced wind ~
No matter the storms or gales to be faced;
No matter the distances to close;
My spirit  looks out from clifftops,
    rising on the challenges.
Life’s desire bound us to be one.
A greater force set the arrow’s release…
Preface in faith to our first embrace.
