I knew you, my dearest, in long gone days,
Your face did my dreams adorn.
I knew of your grace, your warmhearted ways;
I knew you before you were born.

Before you were born, my treasured one,
I knew you would one day appear
Like bright, golden rays of morning sun,
Or the music of bells ringing clear.

I knew of the beauty of body and mind,
I knew of your wondrous eyes;
I knew of the nature so gentle and kind,
I knew of your spirit so wise.

I knew you, my darling, through loneliness
While I waited for you in my life;
I yearned for the feel of a whispered caress
As you vowed to be lover and wife.

When you finally came I knew it was you
(I had known you for ages before)
So I took up your hand (as you wanted me to)
And I saw 'twas my ring that you wore.

Yes, I knew you, my loved one, from long gone days
When you came on that predestined morn;
I could now feel the grace of your warmhearted ways
Known in dreamings before you were born.

Footnote: I'd never given much thought to the idea of predestination until I met and married my beautiful wife, Xiao Yan

Patrick,

Enjoyed this a great deal. You captured what many of us believe even if it hasn't happened, for who knows why.

Sighing....I've seen it happen in other's lives and it is as implied in this lovely poem. I am happy you have the experience and share it with us.

Thank you, Pat

I don't think I REALLY believe in predestination. It's just that it felt like it at the time Xiao Yan and I fell in love and the feeling was strong enough for my muse to generate this poem.

Thanks to all you lovely poets for the kind, positive feedback. Really appreciated.

Patrick--A beautiful poem and love. I believe in soul mates, someone that is loved through many life times and inbetween. Sounds like you have found yours.
