The Infinite Grace of Light and Love - a Collaboration With Robert Lindley

Although gone from this sad earthly plane, love may yet embrace, for within Light's truest of gifts, Love brings its infinite grace... Weeping tears falling into her coffee she mourned his death vanished were the promising future dreams they both had made; tho' some nights upon her cheek, she could feel his loving breath she knows in a Blossom Hill grave his remains had been laid. Dawn gave to her inspired colors, its soothing golden light sending anew, memories of love in heavenly flight; comforting - as she held onto his sweet words from last night, fleeting moments when his dream kiss made everything alright. When afternoon sun was about to hide its brilliant glow she walked to their favorite spot, their love's hidden place; read his words of love cut into their tree to always show, as mystical dusk comes, through veiled mists sees his handsome face. By her side his presence felt in whispering breezy sighs, she longed to run her fingers through his loosely curly hair like she did when she would gaze into cerulean eyes and ride the skies in rapturous highs feeling light as air. Twilight blues hugged the silky hues of softly starlit thoughts as she recalled the thrilling tangle of their tender vines, memories’ of bittersweet pain now twist in lost love knots, bathed in eve’s maize moonbeams her heartache throbs and sorrow shines. She offers up her evening prayers with precious tears upon as she surrenders to her loss awaiting her sweet dreams; with luscious lips theirs will kiss, its essence airy chiffon, quickening pulse runs through her veins their ruby love still streams. Although gone from this sad earthly plane, love may yet embrace, for within Light's truest of gifts, Love brings its infinite grace. Robert J. Lindley and Susan Ashley (a collaboration) July 22, 2018 Poet’s note: Many many thanks to you, Robert, for your lovely invitation to collaborate with you on this special spiritual piece of eternal love, on both the Earthly and Heavenly planes.. I believe that love, like energy, is never lost, it transforms. Your immense imagination and golden poetic talents are a source of inspiration and that never ceases to amaze me. With heartfelt appreciation, I am touched and delighted to unite with you in this vision as our two voices become one in poetry. Thank you for this tremendous joy dear poet and my wonderful friend.

Wow! What can I say! Only when I came to the end did I realize that this was a co-write! "The thrilling tangle of their tender vines" applies not only to the subjects of this poem, but also to the writing styles and abilities of both writers. Love is like a bottomless well...always available for those who search for it and make good use of it. ~ Sending warm wishes to both, and a special hug to my dear friend Susan. // paul
