Poem
Long before we met I loved you though countenance as yet unclear; long before I ever heard your voice, sensed I a perfect fit out-there, somewhere for my very eclectic ear -- Destiny is the word she used, the old woman, with cards and tea-leaves – a White Witch her advertised claim: in a tent, at an outdoor carnival somehow I can’t say, she even knew your name… Long before the first kiss sealed with embrace made promise with vow made sacred perhaps before the first spring came tossed its dingy veil, made colorful beguile...into us spoke scented petal-like blossoming smile long before the first step and endless seeming mile -- season given time to entrance, great power to smudge and erase Perhaps long before God had written His best romance -- imagined human hearts, couplets of tender poetry, song and joyful dance -- perhaps far back, when God first considered love, make sketch and model design -- made man’s visage and form resemble His own Divine… gave creation license to copy, to fondly reline or trace – for sometimes careless figuring gave wash of forever grace – a lonely God, releasing His kingdom, wanting only to freely share, breathing life into lungs of clay beings, declaring each his child – offspring, royal heir Perhaps even then, that far back in God’s perfectly caring heart, you and I were resident tenants there, as angels reside in heaven above wherever we travel, goes with us signed lease of eternal love -- though having transient souls predetermined never long us to dwell apart – such depth of union like God’s glittering universe ever expanding as those endless fields of stars linked together twinkly hand-in-hand, love -- time’s radiant, inextinguishable source and core -- God will keep us sparkling brilliantly close adhered to His Loving Heart Now, long after and long before
