Dearest Love

The days drift by without you I long to look upon your face and touch your hand. Summer has come and gone all too quickly. The fleeting moments we shared Are like time written in the sand Washed away by the gentle waves of the sea. To hold you, to love you, to dream Thoughts of you drifting through my mind. Why do I love you? I need not search far the answer to find. With you my heart, my soul, my spirit is free. With you my heart soars like an eagle To ever greater heights of joy. You are ecstasy, the thundering drumbeat of my heart And then . . . gentle, soft as a newborn colt. Your love makes me whole And I am you and you are me. Original poem penned by Lilo Groenberg in 2008
