The mantra of lovers since time began

My Hope is You (Authored and Recited by Richard Lee Orey) I sit alone amid chaos and struggle Thinking of nothing but you... Your face, your smile, your sparkling eyes so full of life And I ask myself, Why can't we meet? Strange things happen in our modern online world Soley by accident you entered my mind and heart. I didn't know I had surfed into a MeetMe site And before I knew it, your picture flashed onto the screen. You were there but for a moment and you were gone. Yet In that brief interval, your image burned Indelibly into my mind An image that shimmers and glows and pulls at my heartstrings And leaves me sitting alone thinking of nothing but you-- You and me and what could be Chemistry stirs my soul and begs a coming together Even as such instant attraction remains unexplained. O, Life is so unfair, I complain to none who listen Until I'm shocked with what I perceive as a gift from God: Your Image is back! A name appears and a link to click Fighting the pounding beat of my heart Hands quivering with unbridled passion My life is storming back like the flowering blooms That follow a Springtime shower Your user name appears, and I catch my breath My Hope is You is what it says And I know that somehow you know I'm here Waiting for you, yearning for you, begging for you-- You and me and what can be. Yes, it's true : My Hope is You I write the words: Hi There And in a flash comes back your message: O, somehow I knew you'd be there for me Can we meet? In a flurry, messages fly back and forth And suddenly I understand that life is not really unfair It's all there in this world waiting for us-- Riches and abundance and love and fulfillment All we need is faith And the will to say the words: My Hope is You. Tonight, we sleep clinging one to the other, Whispering the mantra of lovers Since time began: My Hope is You. Richard Lee Orey Copyright 2012

Richard, your words are so beautiful. How I wish I had a husband who was as elequent as you!!! I am his life, but he never tells me the way you do to your beloved. I hope your wife realizes what a treasure you are--even as I treasure you as a friend. Wonderful poem.
