Beloved

BELOVED
I know not yet your name, yet you've roamed with me for time immortal
as a promise nested in my heart

You are not of my design, yet infused within your being my completion finds breath
Your fierce eyes send me tumbling to depths unknown - merely a glimpse of what lies beneath

You are possessed of a mind unrivaled
your articulate intelligence unequaled
except by mine....
We walk hand in hand and on equal ground

I will find you in the wild
wandering wide-eyed amidst the splendor
And never attempt to change the danger that draws me to you
Your voice will whisper, yet scream out to me
and I will hear the echo from afar

A gentle spirit to protect me
though the world smolder to ashes all about
In your quiet strength I will
rest in the safety of our cocoon

You will understand the power of sunset hues
as quick to fade as they are to arrive
And the beauty of a rainbow against the background of a raging thunderhead
fusing light in the midst of a fearsome eclipse of darkness

Together we will savor their magic with urgency
A wellspring of tears will flow from your benevolent soul
and move you to action for preservation of your cause
Your priorities are firmly based in love and
an appreciation of the majestic earth
to where we all return
As I wander on this soil, some may touch me
but only you shall possess my spirit in totality

Live, my beloved!
I am ever watchful for our rendezvous
You may move unaware,
but you call out to me nonetheless
The spark of our truths will one day kiss
and ignite an eternal flame
