ENCHANTED CANOPIES

Love you first.

Then you will be free

For loving me.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

We were

Each other's refuge

For a little while

When it was needed.

And now we understand

~ It could not last.

Experience succeeds

Where explanation fails.

Frightfully,

Delightfully

Breathlessly ~

Old and new

Is love implanted! -

Ever warm

A lovely balm,

A refuge,

And a canopy

Enchanted.

It never comes

The same way twice

Nor loses spice

To make it sizzle,

Make it go.

It's always you

In every turn,

And shape and form.

It's always love.

Someday you'll even know.

No one ever told me

How to get from there

To here

From where

I started.

Yet -- here I am~

Transit happens

Either way.

Half a moon

Is better than

No moon

At all.

There's still
A warm spot
Where we touched.

Surrendering

Delivering

Remembering.

Waiting

Walking

Running.

Here I am!

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

How insensitive

Is Life.

And yet

It is the only sense

There is,

And needs

No proof.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

Quiet certainly

Lazes in its sun,

Smiling frequently.
