It was the day of dawning,
the moment of conception~~~~

Love came striding towards me,
swept me off my feet,
slipped into my heart unseen.

I did not know
nor could have dreamed
that Love would seek me out,
that Love would give
~~~~my heart its wings.

How like a Phoenix I was~~~~
rising out of mystery's depths
to find my wings had spread
to cover you, to spur you on
to greater heights,
through spiraling clouds,
towards awe-inspiring altitudes,
~~~~breath-taking sights.

Liked the metaphor of a phoenix in this one.

Rising like the phoenix is an awesome feeling, isn't it?  Wonderfully done.

IvyRose~
Your pen has spilled my ink ...
this is exactly what has happened to my heart~

'It was the day of dawning,
the moment of conception~~~~

Love came striding towards me,
swept me off my feet,
slipped into my heart unseen.

I did not know
nor could have dreamed
that Love would seek me out,
that Love would give
~~~~my heart its wings.

rising out of mystery's depths
to find my wings had spread
to cover you, to spur you on
to greater heights,
through spiraling clouds,
towards awe-inspiring altitudes,
~~~~breath-taking sights.'


I could not have written my own thoughts as breathlessly~
Thank you ... thank you~

Held my breathe as I read this - could only find one thing to mar its beauty - it ended.
I never wanted that to come...
