You

You
are the incarnation of hope,
a spirit raised from depths of dreams.
The embodiment of fortitude,
shimmering gold, gracing arid streams.
 
You,
are gentle latticed desire,
lacing living flesh with love and light.
A mild flame kindled by faith reborn
igniting passion to fervent flight.
 
You,
are chaotic serenity,
tender turmoil pulsing through my veins.
The glistening upon sated leaves
after long-awaited summer rains.
 
You,
are inspiration’s ecstasy,
a vibrant sunset observed at dawn.
Improbable fantasies realized,
an eternal lonesome path forgone.

Thanks Alison, my path, at the time of this writing onward, is no longer lonesome. I was blessed to find my "You" and may all who read this be as fortunate. Ron
