PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you give me my world at a standstill
the oceans of my life refuse to crest
and swell
without the knowledge of your intent
mercy is the sound of your voice
in my ear
closeness is a diamond we wear
around each others hearts
I realize this only now
looking further into myself
reflects echos of you back
into my soul
whisperings rippling out from
some place long, long ago
a place I can't quite remember
but still it is ever there
alas spitting out that emptiness
and subsequent fear
I've always held onto so very dear
for they were but yet realized
'Remnants Of You'
that haunted me for more than
39 long years
I always suspected God would
blessedly introduce you
into the streaking twilight
of my life
oh so tearfully
I'm utterly glad he did
for I know I never deserved you
that is
until I got out of my own
pitiful path long enough
to let you get up
to meet me halfway
so please don't think I didn't realize
this profound epiphany came
on the very cusp of your beloved
birth's day
for that is God
aligning my wish
with his own omnipotent say.....
