New Loves Destiny

Bitter love, exit the old love.

Hurt, betrayed and water under the bridge.

You felt sadness lingering

for a long time.

It ended, but once it was great.

What happened you wondered?

It went sour and there was nothing you

could do about it.

Yet, you know deep in your heart

you could never go back.

So you waited patiently,

tended your own garden.  And waited.

And sometimes you wondered,

would love ever knock on your door again?

You know, the red door with the wreath

made of delicate roses.

The scent is surely enough to attract

a man to your door you think.

Yet, you silently wait.  And wait.

Yet, the time isn’t right.

Then suddenly, you were pruning

your roses and your hydrangea bushes.

You kept nurturing your own

authentic self.

Suddenly, when you weren’t aware,

someone entered your beautiful garden.

It’s him.  He didn’t knock.  You weren’t expecting him.

He said, “Hello, sweetie.”

You locked eyes and then you knew.

Remember that tiny seed you planted?

In a dream you called to him

and he came to help your seed grow.

It was the seed of new love

that now is sitting on the love seat

next to you.

He is asking you to share your inner voice

with him and wants to share his with you.

New love has spoken.
