…an endless gift.

Should not the distance
Be a barrier
Should not the worries
Stir waves and mountains
That should always
Be kept at bay

There is only the moon
And sun
Sisters and cousins
Of life and loss
Of strength
And rivers
Meant to be crossed

Take a look
Into my eyes
The strength of love
And this journey
Reach into the
Depths of endless
Morrows
That majestically
Fall and rise

There is only
Peace and solitude
There is only
The stillness
Of now

Look not back
Look not forward
We are meant to only
Kiss the breath
Of presence
Rejoice in the beauty
Of the moment
For there is no other
Gift more exquisite
My dearest love
Than this wondrous treasure
We’ve finally found
