NOW AND THROUGH ETERNITY

An update on something that I had writen a while back

WITH MY HEAD HELD HIGH

The sun is now rising in the east
Its rays renewing life that the dark of night so selfishly stole
Like it is renewing its vows with mother earth

The sun is now rising in the east
Making my darkest hours fade away into a memory
I sit and absorb its warm rays and my mind turns to you

For you have, like the sun, brought warmth
Where once only cold roamed freely through my soul

Tears once shed are now like crystals on a chandelier
Reflecting hues of all the rainbows as they tease my deep blue eyes

The words ‘I love you’no longer are silent when coming from my lips
You, my dear, have taught me there is warmth still in my heart

A feeling deep within me, once trapped, with no portal to escape...
A lifeless existence that permeated my soul is now released

I have risen like a phoenix from a long, dreaded sleep
Yes, my dear, you are in my soul, in my heart, and in my mind,
Now and for as long as my body draws breath

You have given me a chance to share what I have to give
And I am excited to listen when you give back

I walk with my head held high, for I am so very pleased

To know that you care to walk together hand and hand with me

Now and through eternity...

Everything seems in harmony in this and the waves beat a happy tune as the sun measures time

I find this one mesmerizing. It has a fine elegance to it that I think gives it a hidden flavor that might surface slowly over the course of your words.
