Poem
In their youth two have met on a playgound with swings and sand. Their paths were crossed many a time, love blossomed to great dimensions Till the day of recognition when he said, "You must be mine. As sailors of old, they have set the course and from their destination veer they will not. To achieve the objective, they may tack, to reach the line of finish and a reward of a life of love. As they may face gale force winds, there may be storms even a bolt of lightning Onward they sail toward the cherished prize. Turbulent tossing of the sea swells confuse the way, the out rushing tide opposes the shore bound progress and the crash of the breakers drown out the rhythm of two hearts in love. The darkness comes creeping in deep hues, tiny lights sparkle from windows where families gather. Tables with food well laden. Listen... for the sound of channel buoys marking the way for travelers safe journey from distant shore. With obstacles to great to face, block the way to havens needed. For rest and safe housing for the lovers. Out of the blackness... a shaft of light renewing hope in their hearts. Madly in love, "there is a way"...cries the desperate man, "We must follow the beam" as he takes her hand. "I will guide you", he whispers . Come with me now my dear, I will not leave you for I need you beside me for the rest of our days... The wind dying, tide has turned, the breakers are not crashing and the goal is near. The couple struggling through the surf and foam, the bride-to-be falters, her sweetheart there, with strength waning he carries her forth till on barren beach they lie, spirits near broken together they have succeeded to weather the storm. Tis a church so beautifully decorated, music wafting as bells ring to honor in celebration of the day when two become one. The couple joined by God smiling through tears of joy, today is the day when fantasies turn real. Sun shining brightly, birds sing of love clouds hiding for bright is the future of two made one, True love conquers foes unseen, the battle is waged and victory arrives for the lovers who unite together... a common bond, a front,so formidably formed that none can harm, no not even one. The years passed, lives entwined... the children have flown from nest secure, grandchilden play by the side of the sea. COPYRIGHT 2012 ACB
