Yesterday’s Love Anew

Strange…

In a way not experienced before

To love and find the darkness

That sometimes follows when it seems so quiet

Yet…

The heart knows beyond skipping a beat

When the mind forgives the heart

And the heart the mind

Openings appear

Yes…

Different after many years

But like a friend not seen in a long time

Love finds its way through shadows of yesterday

To the images

Sounds

Sights

Touches

Taste

And oh, the fragrance of eau de parfum

Slow gliding across the room

Today’s fast-lane world

Often makes it difficult to enjoy

Simple joys of just living in the aliveness of the moment

Love understands

Proving its indomitability

With unexpected gentleness

Hear it whisper its trust

In our growth of lessons learned

Perhaps Tolstoy said it best

“He felt now that he was not simply close to her,

But that he did not know where he ended and she began.”
