The Power Within

A morning kiss touches my cheeks
So sweet and kind that no one can resist
It’s a lovely gesture, a beautiful touch 
And I would cherish it.

Beyond this reach that comes to fore
May unfold its innermost call
That’s pretty sure “I love you”
And I swear without fear or shame.

Count on me dear me!
It’s etched deep down the core
And its desire for a committed search
can mirror the eyes of my faith.

I may continue moving like a boat
It follows the blow of the wind
My heart that never stops like this 
refuses not to tell, the beauty and truth of myself.

Words chosen from poets and prophets
Are assertions that likewise cling to mine,
More poignant and universally felt
This avowed experience of love in me.
