“We have within ourselves
Enough to fill the present day with joy,
And overspread the future years with hope.”
William Wordsworth

Come on aboard
I am just waiting for you
you know I am the one
that can make you complete
as the stars drift across the night sky
so you will merge totally with me
on a voyage of endless possibilities
where the prairie grass remains green
and the soft awakening of dawn
steals across your gentle heart
like the blue heron on its flight
we will sail to distant shores
where moonbeams are our cover
and the dancing surf ripples the shore
I will bring you eternal happiness
as we walk hand in hand
and listen to the lilt of God's music
playing deep within our hearts
our love is immaculate and pure
formed in the chrysalis of time
we will paint the perfect picture
on the open canvas of our lives

Your poetry is so brilliant, it is always equivalent to a set of floodlights, pouring out their light, at the feet of the subject[s].

Who could ever resist an invitation as such. And that watershed ... most assuredly a place that Michele and I would love to explore. It reminds me of terrain in north Prescott Arizona.
Your use of simile in the lines:
"steals across your gentle heart
like the blue heron on its flight"
Was resplendent. So few words - such a magnificent canvas you paint of a loving heart at peace with his life. This was exceptional!
Thankyou ...
