Deep Embrace of Life
Smiling and thinking of you-
profoundly
Feeling contented in the
cloisters of my mind
Thoughts of you-
remembering
Wanting you by my side
Then, we could make
love slowly and softly
In each others deep embrace
of life, living
The loving way
Now-
feeling nervous, anxious
with you not here
Morning, dark and misty
A quiet mellow day
Sipping a thick dark espresso
Sweet, ever so sweet
and rich
I smile and think of you
In love
And the message comes
through:
"I would be surprisingly good for you."
Here in the mainstream of
existence
Surviving in the cauldron
of a stormy sea of life
Rejoicing in the heart
of an agony, of loving
I cry out for you!
Echoes in the great cathedrals
of coastal redwoods
"Yes, I love you very much."
I hope this is not a dream
Can this be reality?
In the hardness of
living's torments
When hurtful words are
often said
Will our love wither and
perish-
like an ephemeral rose
of passion?
Petals scattered on the
dusty brown earth floor
Or will our love come back
strengthened?
Strengthened by the deepness
of a profound loving
Deep, warm, in the colorful coral canyons
of a tropical ocean
Or will we cry out in the
hurricane of life's
agony?
Will it, will it
survive the
boiling turmoil
of such a stormy scene
In the endless waves,
pounding insults-
this main stream of
existence
Living and loving
In our deep embrace of life
