The One
When all is said and done,
you are the one.
I will lay myself down,
by the still waters of your soul.
So when they call the roll,
you'll be the one.
To soothe me when I'm sick,
to nurture me in health.
Be one with me in poverty,
and carry me to wealth.
For my wealth is not in possessions,
nor from gold in the Earth.
My wealth comes from your love,
that circles me in its girth.
I welcome you in sunshine,
I welcome you in rain.
I welcome you when evening comes,
with your sweet refrain.
For you are in my heart,
and you are in my soul.
You are the one I dream of,
you are my only goal.
So when our time is over,
on this mortal coil.
I will anoint you the one,
with the sacred oil.
I will anoint you the one,
and end your earthly toil.

'anointing and ending her toil'....puts dark visions of compassionately or not, putting someone out of their misery. hmmm
And we know "The One" when we find them, you write love prose with much beauty and feeling behind it. I do have to laugh about the chicken though :)
Love and Light

Regarding my poem, The Blue Vase, I wonder if it's because so many women work today and just don't have time for the paraphernalia of yesterday? Which is a pity.

... this is a love that supercedes "for richer, for poorer" indeed. Fabulous stuff and wonderful to share in. Bless you both! :)) xx
