The Way It Is

What began as a trickle
becomes a flood,
flows like the tide
wave on wave
to drown the past,
instinctively revive

Bloom awakened
with dewy touch,
senses devour
droplets of love,
quenching need
sates thirst
casts a glow
banishes hurt

Sometimes
there is light
that shines
in the place
where darkness
once resided,
removes shadows,
feeds a heart
that solely longs
to live inside it

And in that ray,
no time nor place
can separate
what is bound,
beyond denial,
complete as one,
the only truth
that needs
to be found

For in the truth
that is the light
or waters rushing
to bring us to shore
one cannot escape
what fate has cast
and destiny has
procured

This is fantastic! Wise words. Once we learn to accept this, we will be able to greet life with open arms.
