And Then I Met You

 

I noticed not how the dew carefully bathes the rose before it trickles from its petals;

Or how its limbs reach for the sky when summoned by the sun's warm breath;

Or how the gentle breeze provokes the tree leaves to dance without reason;

Or the endless compassion of each wave as it chooses to retreat;

Or the continuous melody of the birds through cold, shelterless winters;

Or how the earth's soil gives life long before it buries it;

No, I noticed not these glorious wonders that surround me every day;

 

And then I met you.

Love opens our eyes yet appears without summon or preparation. It's funny how what is normal perception becomes extraordinary when emotions over- rule disposition.

I don't know, Dani. Why is there not more love than hatred? Is HE that powerful? (hatred, I mean) Truth is revealed here.... within the rose, the sun, the breeze...taking root in the Earth and her gifts....

Very pretty.

Beautiful poem! wonderful imagrey, and then the end; "and then i met you" really ties the whole poem together, and i'm sure that man feels so grand! lol

Isn't Love so wonderfully divine and mystical in the way that its essence enlightens the heart and mind, so much so that beauty manifests itself within and without?
A beautiful expression of love.

dani, this's subtle, beautiful, electric velvet, smooth, an ode to lovers fair, a dance of words, flight of heart.
Loved it.

Nature and Love. What a nice combination and you can never go wrong. I must say that i was a little confused at first but your last line makes this piece so beautiful. I like the way that you seduce your readers with a romantic taste of nature and twist it into love between two hearts. Excellent.
