Listening to every heart

                              Now, Then, Again

You asked me
if I would marry you then…
and then…
again…
            so I looked beneath a river’s flow of years
                     below our feet, where there were seasons
               we faced anew then, for a time toward now…
Again…
The trust never rusted,
                although faith was tested,
                                   and even though we slept,
we never rested
on laurels
even when we could.

We grew into one another,
like moss on oak, as
I always knew your true north,
                                while you picked me up
                                                     in my east, west and south,
and allowed me
                               my dreams…
for even as I understand your strengths,
and shelter your weaknesses…
                  
Please, know,
Now, then, again,

I do.

~*~

Happy Renewal…
Love, Karilea

beautiful....there is such a gift you add...

You’re thinkin so complicated
I’ve had it all up to here
But it’s so overrated
Love and hate it
you’re so jaded
And I’m the one that jaded
you

So true, and very lovely...

We grew into one another,
like moss on oak, as
I always knew your true north,
                                while you picked me up
                                                     in my east, west and south,

Martie and Taylor - here's to many more happy and wonderful years!

Love and tenderness combined in this beautiful poetic gift for dear Martie and Taylor.

Sunshine caresses the oak and the moss and the scenery is perfect.

Love and congratulations!

..."We grew into one another,
like moss on oak" ~ This is THE line that is most memorable for me! ~ and that is saying a great deal since every line was worthy of repeating and remembering.

Blessings of love eternal for Marti Moss and Tyler Oak ~ and for Matti Oak and Tyler Moss!

~ and hugs for all three of you!



Loving Light,
Linda
