finding forever ...
these are the moments of great joy and pleasure
this the passage from hope to surrender
a time together lasting a day or a week or a year
or slipping by like clouds drifting through blue skies
never emerging from a beginning
and never finding an end
this is the caravan of chaos and confusion
this a journey impossible to plan
a path into uncertainty so complete
that it is impossible to chart or measure
except by faith and feeling
by every caress and kiss
and by every sensual touch
until the emptiness
between one and two closes
until we wake in the morning
or stir from sleep under starry skies
and guess that forever is
when your heartbeat
is as familiar to me
as the beat of my heart is to you
when my life enfolds
everything that you are
in the knowing that everything that i am
is enfolded by you

Beautiful words Kennedy. Most everyone can relate to them at some point in life, though I think "forever" is a long time and few find it.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day.
Yes, but people who find forever don't, can't, or won't measure it ...
DeleteI will never know.....
DeleteNever say "never" ...
DeleteIt's like you said everything. There is nothing more to add...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...
"There is nothing more to add..."

Deletepairing Norah with this poem is a real bread and butter experience. both her song sung in confident sensual truth, and your words penned likewise ..are an easy fit into the soulscape.
