Books on a Shelf

Opening the pages
you tell me your stories
asking for mine

You want to know me

how it is I got to this place

I want to know you
to know it all

Our lives on display

My life on display: I am fearless

fearless to move so close
to share so much

there is much to share

Loving the way each time we tangle we fit as puzzle pieces.

Unsuspected well of strength
joy
finding before looking
you found me
and I smile
knowing a stable truth
a steady good.

Nouvel Amour

Wanting to be ready,
knowing it might do me in,

I
step
forward.

I will die satisfied

Love finds me when I think I'm not looking
Love finds me when I think I'm not ready
Love finds me when I didn't ask for it
Love finds me on Her own timing

I was born of Love
I will live in Love
to Love
to be Loved

and I will die satisfied
knowing
sure
that I have Loved
