A marriage made in Heaven...

Secret Rendevous


I begin to squirm
unfolding myself from fetal posture
lifting my head & filling my lungs
with the soft scent of dawn

Refreshing and wholesome
is the sweet crystalline savor of morning on my tongue
the crisp metallic aroma of your morning breath
sweeping across my face

moving from quietness to the slow rhythmic
first songs, first dance of the morning
rising to the climactic nuance of chirping
rustling sounds in the grass

This is when you and I meet
for our daily rendevous
where we share our love and intimacies
when you hold me close

You reassure me I am safe and secure
You wrap me in your all-powerful presence
protecting me from the unseen forces, influences
ready to pounce on this new horizon we share

In your embrace I submit to your Will
as you fortify me with peace ~ clothe me with joy
impart your strength and hope for the challenges of this day
to engage the elusive enemy of my soul


...by the time the sun has shut its eyes
and dusk has settled over everything like dew
I will have remained empowered and unscathed
through another day well lived ~ and a fight well fought!
