I lived my live in futile quiet
on the edge like a homeless émigré
day after pointless day gave me life mediocre
coiled in my cocoon of drab
taking in a breath hoping for nevermore
I give the finger to the man in the moon
amble back inside The Hovel
something caught my awareness
she was smiling into my vitals
she, a goddess from the temple of holy
said, I've been watching you die,
I'm here to unshackle you from the casket
you seem so eager to lie in

suddenly Love saturates my ecstasies
breaking away from yesterday's fears
I am forevermore in the glow
of Love's Radiance
I am bound unto Love eternally
and Love has set me free

The right person, the right time, the right intent... I'm glad she held the key.

Eventually love finds everybody and I am glad it found you. This gives me hope one day it will happen to me. I guess patience is a virtue. I truly enjoyed the read!!!

suthern, you said a mouthful. It has been some getting used to, I never thought it would happen, but it happened, oh yes indeed. Never give up hope, suthern, never, if I can find love after my sorryass life anybody can.

Never, ever give up. It will happen, The_Doctors_Angel_32, someday it will happen. As Hank Jr. would say, I'm living proof.
