Entwined

I watch the dawn’s first light softly caress
your sleeping form. My heart is overcome
with feelings, oft-forgotten I confess,
of how entwined our lives and love’s become.

Time, like a river, wears our passions down
as life distracts us from the path we planned.
It’s in these mundane waters that we drown;
our dreams are scattered like the ocean’s sand.

Yet, not unlike the moon’s pull on the tide,
our love, in silence, guides us on our way.
A mystic force that cannot be denied;
that followed, will not lead our hearts astray.

I watch... and once more wonder fills my soul -
how two entwined are stronger than each whole.

Amen! Your poem speaks of such concrete truths and how those not quite disappointments are balanced by the true love of our mates. Beautiful xo
