LOVE LETTERS FROM MY HEART

Be still, my heart,
And you will know.

We'll fly

Through the sky

Become

The one

We are.

Winged stallion,

Swift gazelle,

Without a net.

We'll spin

Crystal webs

For caterpillars.

We'll find

The star we owned

From when we first

Began.

Each moment

With you

Surpasses

Its predecessor,

My beloved.

Even if

Everything else

Were right,

Without you,

What is it?

Now and always,

Dreary days

Are

Left behind

For good.

When you come into

My door,

You fill my room

With moonlight,

With magic

Music

And merry mystery.

This full response

Unsought,

Accepted

Is in and of itself, alone -

Not part

Of something else.

Had you not occurred, arisen,

There could have been no substitute

And missing it

Would still remain

This wholly private ache

And so I'm scared,

I'm unprepared

For further definition

In the larger realm.

There will be
No new encounters
For us.
For if we chance
To meet again,
We'll touch,
And then -
Our hearts will beat again,
As souls repeat again
Our recognition.
Time will cease,
As universe
Becomes
Complete, -
Again.

I was a young teenager when I saw this film, but, even so, it impressed itself on me. What I've only just learned as I researched the movie today is that the screenplay was written by none other than Ayn Rand! Of course the cast members, with Jennifer Jones, at her ethereal best, and Joseph Cotton,as the writer of the letters for a friend, in the mode of Cyrano de Bergerac, were magnificent. This film belongs in the classic film realm with "Casablanca", in my opinion.
