All our lives

For my partner... as far away as he may be. i hope he remain strong battling his cancer, and that he knows how much he means to me and that i am waiting for him.

All our lives,

We have walked different paths

Searching for the right way.

Lost.

Hunger for company,

Never alone, but lonely.

We searched,

For that beacon of light.

They say there will be a light,

At the end of the tunnel.

So we trudged,

In darkness.

Looking for that light.

Where is the end?

Blinded, we fell,

Gasping, we stumbled.

We got up,

We fumbled.

Still… nothing.

Still… silence.

Still alone.

But in our hearts,

We had faith.

That He is there,

Our prayers He hears,

Our prayers He will answer,

The path He will show.

And as we walked in that scary darkness,

Unsure as where to go,

Relying on our senses,

Not knowing exactly what to do.

Is this it?

To be living a mere existence?

Just walking,

Just existing...

Just somebody… anybody,

One of the everybody.

Then one day,

In that darkness.

A strange presence emerged

So drawn to it

I walked to that presence

I felt a hand

I heard a voice

I sensed a heart,

Beating as fast as mine.

And in that darkness,

I saw you.

Prayers answered,

The right path, I’m on.

No longer lost

No longer alone

No longer as scared

For as long as I have you

In darkness, I can see.

We might still fumble,

We might still stumble,

We might still tumble,

We might even fall.

Like the most precious of stones,

Diamonds, rubies and sapphires,

Ugly, dirty and plain,

But through the polish and pain,

They shine for all to see.

We too have to go through the same,

Before we could be,

Like that beautiful ruby.

You are my dream came true,

You are what made the arduous journey worth every pain.

You are what make the present surreal.

And…

I am waiting for that day that you will take my hand,

For that day…

I can call you mine

And we'll walk towards the light…

That light we have been searching for

All our lives...

On that road to forever, together...

You have allowed the reader to take a peek into your world with this one. Very honest emotions throughout the poem. There are some good rhymes thrown in the mix. "Ugly, dirty and plain,
But through the polish and pain". This was an enjoyable read. LydI**
