Yesterday, I got to thinking about asking for more.
I remember wishing for love because I had enough of a life
to share with someone special
and then ...
after finding a love like no other,
I find myself wishing for more of life to share with my love.
This poem is dedicated to Joey.

 

THE JOURNEY

I've been on this very same road all my life

every twist and every turn

every stumble, tumble and fall

every excess, access and call

the deepest blues and the top of my game

 

thoughtful moonlight wonderings

and

subtly soft sunshine epiphanies

a steady string of mysteries

little miracles scattered across the tapestry

that is me.

the brightest threads were flashes of inspiration

bits of enthusiasm, intuition and joy

the darkest threads seeping in with no explanation 

carving canyons as if to destroy

morphing and intermingling in perfect alchemy

extraordinary strides or ordinary baby steps

and still here I am
a half finished masterpiece
facing

another half-finished masterpiece

that seems to complete mine.

Come stand close to me.

How can this be?

We have come from different places

and different threadsfill our tapestries

but whoever painted your side
seems to have painted mine.


(this is the place where fireworks should be)

I can look back now and be glad for every step!

I can see how every color, the dark and the bright

compliment your colors just exactly right.

I never would have imagined

or even dared to dream

that everything had a reason
not always what it seemed

When I hoped for my happy ending

I never even knew

there could be someone as good as you

 

How could I have ever known

that every step and misstep brought me straight to you?

You are my happy ending.
You are my dream come true.

You are my favorite part of the story that is me

the part where two hearts join hands

stroll off into the sunset
dance under the stars

and rest in each other's arms.

 

This is the place where we dream new dreams

much bigger than before.

We're tried and tested, healed and rested,

embracing life and asking for more!
