Ancient Union

Ancient Union

 

I called for you across the canyons of time

reached out my hand in open invitation

asking that you join me once again

to
 explore the magic of our souls' journey home

I would climb and fall 10,000 times

before hearing the distant whisper

that told me you were near

sailing on cosmic winds

toward our rendezvous

I sat beneath the shady trees of my life

learning the virtue of patience

and softly singing the melody of time

so you might find me and begin anew

and there you were with sunbeam smiles

passions that fanned the embers

of countless heart fires lit long ago

in faraway places with mystical names

we come together now with open hearts

sharing a joy born of new awareness

to savor the double helix of life's mysteries

and awaken to the promise of ancient union

That meant to be love: sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't but in all the times it does not occur, I wonder if it will in the next life? I really like the thought of an ;ancient union', one that has journeyed the ions, hitting and missing as it tumbles along.

Such a vivid image of love's offering across space and time. I am a hopeless romantic, so I hope we are right!

A beautiful write. It sounds like the tale of an eternal love, that no matter how many times gets reincarnated, lovers still end up together.
I like all the metaphors and the excellent personifications you've used, especially the one about the tree of life and the melody of time!!!

I am a hopeless romantic, and love to believe that lovers will always end up together. But I'm also a realist, and know that that is not always the case....sadly.

Thank you so much for your review.

ehhh, my hubby says: it must be good living in your mind :):) -- keep believing my friend :)

wow, you are on a roll...deeply romantic, in more than just a passionate way...this is about the love that stands the test and strains of time...the coupling, uncoupling and coupling again.

[rubie]

you are spot-on, jacob and i am so glad that message comes through in the piece. there is a certain kind of love, not every love, that not only stands the test of time, but can actually transcend it.

thank you for your very kind words. your feedback is always welcomed and appreciated
