Directions of Love
a poem by Marlene
written with her soul, February 14, 2006
Our love is like the wind
it blows soft against my soul
like a million kisses from the angels
and it envelopes me within it's wings
and give me lift to soar.
Our love is like water
gently caressing and lapping upon my soul
ever ebbing and flowing
all the while soothing me to grow
some days ripples, some days calm
but always sparkling with each dawn.
Our love is like fire
fiercely roaring as it cleanses my soul
releasing emotions strongly clung to for so long
then gently leaving glowing embers
of reflection and beauty
to remind me I am alive.
Our love is like the earth
strong and firm
yet soft and pliable
great mountains soar towards the sky
great valleys take us towards the sea
all in a dance to see what we can be.
Our love is spirit
gently spiraling towards the light
ever moving upwards
dancing joyously
entwining with each laugh, pain, tear, and smile
a gift to each of us, granted long ago
a gift to the world so that others may grow.
