Once Upon a Love

Appearing out of the cracked pavement of my life's path-
Love came with healing and so much beauty
Causing the ash heap of past broken promises to fade and
Shattered dreams to take flight like chaff in the wind
Liberating me from the chains of loneliness, disappointment, shame and blame
Making me anew with a fresh outlook on life, on my way to life-
Where love truly abides in genuine expressions of intimacy for better days
And future happiness-
More joy and strength: A life more blessed by once upon a time love:
A love at its best:  
Loving more than one can fathom-
More than words can express, higher than the highest mountain
Deeper than the ocean's depth,
Longer than the eons of time, and
More genuine than the most perfect of diamonds.
A once upon a time love that's on time, God-breathed, lasting for ever; blessed and a blessing.
A love making me totally complete.  Whole.
