What Might Transpire when you Believe

he spoke of having no feelings
nothing that left him open to reeling
nothing that he found very appealing
until he heard her voice singing

nothing had left him open to reeling
nothing had he found very appealing
until he heard her voice, singing
suddenly pure joy she was bringing

nothing he had found was appealing
until he heard her voice, singing
sudden, purest joy she was bringing
emphatic, sadness began leaving

when he heard her voice, singing
sudden pure joy to him then bringing
and emphatically, sadness began leaving
and he wondered at the loss of grieving

sudden pure joy to him she was bringing
and emphatically, sadness began leaving
and he pondered at the loss of grieving
and instead began to reason in believing

Emphatically, sadness was leaving
No longer pondering the loss of grieving
Instead he welcomed all of the believing
Knowing she would never be leaving

And he loved her.

Don't think you will find him complaining either.  This was wonderfully written and the ending was as it should be.  Thanks for the opportunity to read such a wonderfully happy piece.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.

"Instead he welcomed all of the believing
Knowing she would never be leaving
And he loved her."

Says it all for me - but without the prior verses - it could not be half as beautiful - great use of repeating form!

Reading your poem has me reeling
it has left me with very good feeling
oh my happy heart has begun singing
your poem is so very appealing.

Glad I didn't miss this one   < !signature-->

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

SUNSHINE, I'm siding with Paula's response here so bear with me I really enjoyed this poem and I really wanna say this to you...

A poem like this I'd head out rite now unbolt that door and down frontsteps and stand upon cement with arms in air and gaze above to the stars of nite and open lips and shout aloud... I BELIEVE I BELIEVE I BELIEVE...

On a serious note oh I was being serious, anyways, once again sweetie you show your talent with poetry like this...

siiiiiiiiiiiiighing endlessly
