I heard it said that patience is a virtue and that true love knows no time...

 I Was Happy

 

 

I was familiar

with joy

I was intimate

with happiness

when birds sang

flowers bloomed

sun shone and warmed

rain refreshed and cooled

children played with carefree abandon

I was one of them

moon rose and silver lined

the night

with love and light

skylarks soared

come the morn

wild creatures

went about their way

delightfully

the sea sighed

in sweet serenity

swishing the shore

of golden sand

in tune

with the lilt of the breeze

caressing our presence

the fullness of it all

enchanting us

 

All was well

when you were with me

 

It is still all fine

all well in the waiting

for that glowing ember of hope

to set our lives ablaze

with love unrestrained

So good to see you posting again. But you didn't date this wonderful poem of wishful thinking, so I'm wondering if it's part of your legacy of yearning for love lost.

Regis, this was especially lovely and one of my favorites from you! You have a wonderful ability to share emotional themes, seemingly with little effort! I paired it today at Book Readers Heaven with a Gathering of One with appropriate music... Thank you for being an ongoing contributor there and sharing across the world...

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
