The Whole Picture

I wish
I could just walk
Right beside you through life
And the beyond, vast land that knows
No end.

Walking
Through the valleys
And the hills, the rivers
And the plains, not letting go of
Your hand.

Knowing
That when two see
As one, the picture seen
Is much wider, therefore carries
Great hope.

Your view
Added to mine
My view added to yours
Has the scope of eternity
Signed in.

For love
Has the power
To unite two in one
And complete becomes understood
Truly.

This is beautiful, Carolyn. The first poem I'd opened coming on here, and I struck gold! Often I think that God's hand reaches far, it was as though I'd been pulled here.:) Wishing you the best! Mikki

"Complete becomes understood." I like this - a clear definition of love, and much more. Love, Dave

This is the type of love we all seek, Caroline, when "two" become "one" and know they will walk hand-inhand together. Such a wonderfully uplifting description of a couple who enjoy "the whole picture" together. Beautiful, Caroline! It's so nice to see you writing again and sharing your work with us. Love, Carolyn

"That when two see As one, the picture seen Is much wider" What a beautiful whole view from a beautiful and talented poetess - Caroline Cecile! That second half of your soul must be very lucky having you. Love, Iolanda
