Michele Leach Poem
Love is....
A ride on a secluded mountain road, to a vibrant crystal lake, graced by a rainbow of wildflowers, evergreens framing the boulders below
A granite rock, an obstacle to overcome, yet worth it when the peak is reached on a hot summer day, the view of the top of the world
A song sung by the golden aspens in October, the veins of each leaf holding stories of complete surrender and forgiveness
A trail, hard and fast, the ascent hurting at times, back-breaking, the blind leading the blind, to reach the inevitable at the end
A seeker, stuck in a place of wonder, wanting to be released from the misery of the suffocating pines, yearning to create a masterpiece on the other side of the clearing
A river leading to nowhere, the coastline so beautiful, eyes cannot grasp what they are seeing, knowing they are lucky to flow along by the grace of the mountain spring
A map, outlining many different destinations, a route stands out as "the one" but it appears awkward, non-traditional, a roundabout way to reach nirvana
This is love.... These things plus much more. It's not in another, it is in the gift from the universe, it is in you.
You, who took the ride on the secluded mountain road, to climb the granite rock, with a map showing you "the one" with the hard route outlined on your heart.
You, who traveled down the river on a raft made from your own hands, seeing a rainbow of wildflowers along the water's edge, while the song of the golden aspens played against the backdrop of evergreens.
You, who will create a masterpiece in your life, one only you can create, if you love yourself enough to live your truth.

Michele Leach Poem
Golden sky, greet our eyes
Sincere guests arrive
Sweet sounds remind us of days gone by
Seasons taken for granted
We all do it.... Assume.... Rely.... Impose....Hide....Ignore
Why can't we..... Just trust?
Where were you? Where was I?
A film reel plays behind the scenes
Moments gone instantly
If only.... If only.... The two saddest pairing of words ever spoken
Life, sit awhile as Dawn knocks at the door
Life, hold our hands for a minute, as Sun stops by to remind us of His warmth
Golden sky, greet my eyes
Singing leaves begin to send their summer notes through the morning air
Falling gently to the baked September earth
Memories we want to touch
One more time
Just one more time, we wonder
Would those memories play out the same? Or did we create an imaginary view of the past? More magical, extraordinary, more meaningful than we truly experienced?
Life, sit with us, savor the living, thoughts gone as quickly as they came
Life, your precious face escapes us
All we want is to touch your liveliness, your laughter, one more time
Life, we miss you, remember us as the passage fills the golden dawn
Life looks up to the wonder at the line on the golden horizon and says....
"Only love today”
Memories of love equal worth and immortality. Choose love today. Love wins, always.
