1 December 2019

Two hearts that beat years ago as one
and for many moons again now in rain and sun,
are cold and lonely, longing, straining
for each other and so very sadly draining
all joy, elation and ecstasy
and loving smiles and harmony.

They were so happy on life’s bright trail,
but now are numbed, lost, transfixed and frail.
How could these loving, pulsing hearts
have come to this and be apart?

Rash mistakes misunderstood
had hurt them both and forever would
keep them apart if Forgiveness and Love
were not invoked by the stars above.

So, let's forgive and love and come together
in sun and wind and rainy weather.
Our hearts can sing love songs again, you know,
if only both of us want that so.

We adore each other, so please tell me
you want us back as before.  You see,
we are each other’s strength and inspiration.
Let us love again in joyful dedication.

I am left speechless by the beauty of these words and desires.
