Wariness about change is a kind of prairie wisdom.
— Poet Kathleen Norris
...................................................................................................
The winter chill blows fiercely and eerily on my face
tattered and fragmented leaves, swirl along the sidewalk
as painted memories of you , coming rushing back to me
down through the hidden vortex, of time and space
as I wonder and contemplate, where your spirit now resides
when you have once loved, you never stop loving
no matter how much water, has passed under the bridge
that blessed person retains, the very essence of you
the dna of love, forever entombed within our souls
despite the physical ever changing, intense feelings linger on
like the restless and turbulent river, flows ceaselessly ever onwards
so I my beloved, move endlessly around your orbit
configurations of blinding emotions, known only to us
and as we drift effortlessly, beneath the heavenly glory
you will forever be with me, on our distant horizons

Excellent write. Peace. Joyce
Just a delightful write my friend. Filled with insight, wisdom, and love. The essence of your heart for your soul mate illumines the pages of the fine letters for eternity.
Your words:
"so I my beloved, move endlessly around your orbit
configurations of blinding emotions, known only to us"
reveals the deep and abiding emotional and spiritual connection you have with your love. You are a blessed man dear friend.
In deep admiration ...

I believe that whenever we touch someone (whether physically, mentally or spiritually), we are forever changed. Your poem reminds me of this.
Love & Light always and in all ways,
