Long Distance Soul Mate's Love

Like so,  our fingers gently entwine
We are in Capistrano again
Gazing at young swallows perched on boughs...
The perpetual murmur of reeds finds me
Entranced by  gerberas as they
Unwrap yellow petals along San Juan;
And  destined amorousness smiles at us, 
This hunger for joy’s effervescence divine.

Unto paths, a slow walk in the chapel
Invites deep prayers humbly offered—
A  noble  reverence from two soul mates
Knowing  this  fervidness  to love, to  give vigorously,
Is one rare pledge without vehemence or question
Where ardor’s thirst reflects a grant from heaven...
Our disquietude tamed by  sacred bell chimes , 
Embracing  this fate  never  to  be duplicated 
In this lifetime when refrains of  gratitude knell
At the edge of  Capistrano's twilight...
Our long distance affinity armed by flames of hope,
Awaiting God’s will, His veneration.

Spring has not yet arrived in some areas, but it comes early to Capistrano and I love your descriptions of the Gerber daisies opening their petals as even long-distance love thrives with hope. I don't remember the words for Lu' contest, but your poem stands beautifully on its own. Best wishes in the contest, Nette!

A most lovely, delightful poem, Nette! A love such as this is to be envied! I understand you're referring to the church in Capistrano, California where swallows are a main attraction. Hugs // paul
