To Have and To Hold

To find something that springs to dawning light, Dazzling in the dark, a diamond in a dusty bowl, When not really looking, only counting sheep at night Convert to counting blessings, to cocaine for the soul. Polished the dreary calcium in the hollow bones, Driving life through veins laid dormant in complacency, Our meeting such an architect, laid paths of stepping stones So obvious, so plain as day, a self-fulfilling certainty. As if God had blown a kiss and that kiss our dreams had brushed And caused them knit together as one delicious entity; Sparks flew, ethereal lasers, bolting painlessly and hushed Now that we are favoured children in delirious schemes of destiny. Together we can face re-growth within each others' sphere, With treasured warmth of love to keep at bay the lonely cold, I have you and you have me, together we are here With promises to keep us both, to have and to hold.
