Arnold Henry Poet Narrative

I Am Wiser

I see you reach out to me with welcoming arms, beckoning me to enter and enjoy your 
beauty.  My heart cries out, my soul implores you for deliverance.  As the night, passes we 
live in our awareness, clinging while the gates of our hearts open to greet love created.
Many a time you have come to me when I was apprehensive and troubled, no sooner do I 
see you all worries turn to joy I am submerged in a welcoming calmness.  When my spirit 
rebels against all the trouble and injustice around me, I find your face amidst those faces in 
the crowd.  Rage in my heart subside and is replaced by the heavenly sound of your voice; I 
am at peace.
You may ask yourself, how can I be so content with such a simple existence, and how can a 
man like myself on the border of his twilight years, find joy in the silence of the darkness 
and the shadows of his dreams?  The time I have spent in those setting, I have found to be 
the foundations of all that I have come to know about life, love, beauty, happiness and 
peace.
Life is good to me now, the heavy weights that I once carried as if a yoke has fallen broken 
at my feet, and are now the stepping-stones I use to reach my goals.  The roads beginning 
has lead me to a point closer to its end.  With the horizon in front of me, I stop to smell the 
flowers; beauty with exceptional fragrance, my awareness of creation expands.  My smile 
radiates deep in my life and joys rewards become abundant.
I am wiser because of our alliance and richer in spirit due to our intimate episodes.  
Pleasures reached, physically and spiritually has altered the gathering of thoughts.  I am 
able to dissect meanings; foolishly, I believe there would never be a successful conclusion.  
However, with wisdom I have a happy beginning.
