SWEET DESTINY

Oh - if, somehow

I sing my songs more sweetly;

If everything I think or do

I want to share with only you;

if spring and summer never cool;

If my heart is yours completely;

If rivers never dwindle it;

If all you are is all I want;

If all my thoughts rekindle it ~

      It is the way I love you

                now.

The first star

Smiles on

Each of us

I had never before

Till now

Absorbed

Another's poem

Into myself.

When you breathe

My lungs are filled.

   And what you love,

       I cherish!

I came so near to losing

Poetry of soul

And symmetry of spirit.

Only you could happen

Perfectly

To touch my life with life

Again

To which I can respond with

Poetry of soul

And symmetry of spirit

Again.

How good

To know

I can give you as much

As you give me!

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

You have enveloped me

Within your very soul

And let me come and go

At will.

I shall possess you not

Nor ever be possessed,

Though ever have you near,

Fully, freely, fetterless.

If I should nevermore

Behold you, hold you,

Still you will always be

As close, as dear

As my own breath

And heartbeat.

We'll call that place

Enchantment.

Perfect,

Silent

Rapport

Drowns out

Distractors.

Thank you for

Letting me go

Through your channels

Looking for my soul.

Finding it directly,

Now I know

It is never out of reach;

And so 

For my need,

You could dismantle

Your channels.

For you or others,

I cannot say.

My soul has crest

Upon the shores

Of life and love,

And there, expressed

Its deepest self,

Suckling

At the breast

Of Mother Earth -

And then returned to sea

To quest

Once more

For being

In rythmic pulse,

Eternally.
