The Wealth of Love

We are born of love, love is our mother

~ Rumi

The wealth of love is eternal

No force can away it snatch

An emotion so primal

None other can it match

Available in abundance

Yet so hard for us to find

Forgotten its existence

Lost in vestiges of mankind

The human race must transform

All acts with kndness must it do

Seems harder than the fiercest storm

Is to let the love shine through

Do we even comprehend

What love truly means

It's a divine gift He blessed

With no expectation no fees

Its value so priceless

No gem can hold its light

Yet for it we are careless

And against it often fight

Crossed over then we see its worth

For love is only bliss

Such a wasted time this birth

Love was all that is

The wealth of love is eternal

No force can away it snatch

An emotion so primal

None other can it match

The heart of gold you gave to me

A symbol from the blue

An angel handed it to me

In a dream I lived with you

Your soul you merged with mine through that

A message of your love

My body bathed in your enchanting glow

And peaceful like a dove

The heart of gold you gave to me

A symbol of our love

My heart is joined with yours you said

In an everlasting bond

This poem is based on an event that took place during one of my meditations recently. Feeling blessed.

Honesty

Do you believe in messages from the other side?  This poem is the result of a wonderful message I received.

It's also a response to this week's prompt for the The Thursday Writer's Post hosted by Magical Mystical Mimi.

"With pure honesty, the honesty of a child, say one thing today"

I've wanted to do a poetry blog for a long time and this seemed to be the moment for that too

So here it is ... that one thing  ....  straight from my heart

I wish I could've told you

Just how much you meant to me

But I was much too young to think

Of love and reverie

Our eyes did meet just now and then

I knew that you were special

And in your eyes I saw your love

And secret admiration

And then our paths swerved and diverged

We went our separate ways

I always hoped we'd meet again

And spend our lifetime days

You left this world so young and sudden

Destiny played its part

Soulmates not meant to be together

A romance not meant to start

You always were a gentle soul

So sweet with quiet strength

Did you know your time was up

Hence kept me at arms length?

You know the Lord did save me

He was harsh but very wise

He knew I would have crumpled

Hence you were not my prize

Your handsome face etched in my mind

How could I that erase

Your image imprinted in my heart

And so hard to replace

Someday there'll be another

A love that I will find

I know you'll send him to me

Your gift of love so kind

And when my time on earth is up

I hope that you will be

Waiting on the other side

To walk that path with me

I wish I could've told you

How much you meant to me

But you already know that

My heart you hear and see.
