POTD 19 September 2017

Apprehensively I tramp with my lamp - through a path shrouded in gloom Silvery shafts of light entwine and fight through foliage as they creep Gnarled branches twist as I resist their sinister outstretched grabbing reach With a hushed bated breath I move in stealth - to allow the restless spirits sleep I have heard and have feared the ancient Mystical stories that are told Of a fabled cave of age where these immortal spirits abide A sacred and elated reverie this questing soul with them seeks To allow ‘The Oracles’ now - to show where my elusive love hides I have heard it expressed in a blessed rapturous appellation This glowing love from above that eludes this restless yearning child A bliss infused kiss that Celestial Beings have been heard to applaud A connection of perfection that would make Heaven look down and smile In my quest to find the nest of undying unconditional love I search alone to find my throne in the mighty caverns of the sphere May the spirits guide until I find my bride in barren breaths of cold And now I see in this mystic cavity an apparition does appear In a gentle voice I do rejoice and hold captive in their chambers My son are you the one seeking lasting love in our golden grotto I say yes and will you bless my jaded journey thus far I have made We’re beings of infinity descending divinity as above so below I fall to my knees as they say with ease - Feel the vibes of the stone Before you embark look within your heart - Love explodes there and beyond I shed a tear with a cavernous cheer and find where I have failed My soul anew now I'm due for my love to be Spiritually spawned
Acknowledgement from Maria (Down Under) - To my very dear friend and Poet Extraordinaire`-The illustrious (((Winged Warrior)), for producing this collaboration together with me. It is no surprise at the effortless speed of this production - virtually overnight (because of the time difference), and then another night with the sprucing up. It was good fun and we must do it again WW. POTD 19 September 2017 Music by Yakuro – ‘Through The Galaxy’ - Published on Mar 22, 2016 Copyright – Maria Williams and Winged Warrior – September 2017

Revisiting after more than three years this monumental poem of you and of our departed friend WW gives me the impression that he is around reading our comments. I am happy to have commented then so it gives me the right to write a tribute to our late friend who we will never forget! Rest in Peace our beloved brother. One day we would meet again!

Certainly this poem about love is a product of love written by two wonderful persons and poets with golden hearts! Congratulations to both dear Maria and dear WW for going beyond the trivial conception of love and more into the mystical and to the wondrous!
