It’s overcast and rainy
But I feel a special warmth
A warmth from above
A warmth inside
As if the sun were shining
For me alone

Finding your true love
Is not up to you
It can take years
Or an instant
Milliseconds
That equal lightyears

The heart chooses
And destiny is revealed
In a single moment
An hour
A week
Two people
Whose hearts are like
Opposite poles of a magnet
Drawn together
Inexplicably
Yet inseparable

Oceans apart
Or right next door
Love transcends all boundaries
Negating the past
Without tarnishing memories
Rejoicing in those memories
And yet looking to the new dawn
Another day
Another chapter
To be realized
Held in a hand
That only holds
Your true love

I sit on the porch
Watching the moon and the stars
Holding hands with God

As the sun focuses on a single tree,
Like a lighting “special” pinpoints an object on stage –
Life projects its essence of humanity.

What is a marriage?

The joining of forces;
A partnership;
Equal standing in the corporation
Of life and love.

Writers pooling ideas,
Scientists testing theories,
Two people sharing.

Marriage is not the contract
Or the piece of paper;
Marriage is two people who love each other.

And when their souls mesh,
Intertwined and inseparable
The piece of paper
Codifies their love
And shouts to the world –

We love each other
And will ‘til eternity!

Sunrise wakes the day

While dozing rejuvenates

The mind and the soul

For some
Any place they hang their hat is home
For some
It isn’t physical
It’s metaphysical

There’s an essence
Intangible, unimaginable
Indescribable, but real

For every cliché in column A
There’s a single word in column B
Home

Travel and transience
Can never subjugate
The pull
The allure
Of the quintessential

And as the song says
A house is not a home
And the greatest love of all
Will yearn in tandem
For the romance of home
