Overwhelming



I knew him from my past
He was kind and beautiful, 
A silent sigh breathed out
From the feelings, so overwhelming
Larger than life feelings – melting
Away the darkness, sending
Light through the heart and soul

I knew him like I knew hope
With vibrancy that hastened to show
Me the wonderful inside his soul,
The miracle that would lift my eyes
Toward the promise of forever,
The delightful in being together –
Shining devotion into the promises,
The possibilities endless, measured
By understanding that hesitated
To bring the soul into the brightness
A brand new kiss from the sun’s rays,
Embracing the joy that comes from 
Knowing the miracle of love that keeps
	growing

I knew him like I know joy,
With a feeling alive, 
Both lovely and exultant,
Piercing the darkness, 
Fulfilling the spirit with a contentment
Arising from the life
Who knows what it is to feel
The overwhelming love,
The way it captures the attention,
Survives every affliction,
Sets out to cure and heal, blessing
Away every doubt, every fear
With the music of faith
That lasts through the years

I knew him from so very long ago.
His kiss, his smile, his love
Forever blessing me with assurance
That we were a part of one another,
Two pieces meant for more…
Two fragments of forever, always
Being wedged together, composing
A promise, a song, a prayer…
A feeling that is always alive, always aware

This overwhelming sense of bliss…
It is forever written in the sentences
Poetry quieting the clouds, raining
Down through the spirit – sensitivity
Comfort, blessings so pure and noble
They show that forever is more beautiful
Than any memory of a past that just didn’t last

I knew him from the past, but together
Forever became the reason we would stay
Enchanted by each moment, each day….
With the overwhelming love that promised
To be with us throughout life…
Caressing our dreams, releasing our memories
To become pieces of the truth that emerged
From two hearts, two loves, two souls
Writing their moments down in history!
