Forever

A poem I wrote before I met my husband. It seemed to be call out for a soulmate and I found him in 1998. I married him 10 years ago on July 4.

Crash upon the rocks
of my shore
like an ocean’s
rising
tide.

Forever charge
into fires
long buried
in the bedrock
of time.

Be the one dancing
the forgotten memory
fanning the flame
to infinite fire.

Worship my being
so that I may learn to love
the divine that resides
inside my soul.

Beams may spread over
a satin silken sky
never setting fire
to eternal darkness
but your light
your light will
burn through the ebony
of my starless night.
