An Appreciation Meditation

My heart swells
and the cares of my soul
carry on;

and you've given back to me
the early dawn;

and, I am grateful from my heart.

~

I rejoice
and what I believe in
brings me home;

my station is to stand
and not to roam;

I know our love did finally start.

~

I can see
that the way your love light
brightens up the day;

I'll forever be in debt
in every way;

my heart knows though, what is true.

~

You are the very one
that lends my heart
to be at rest;

I can't believe the pressure
in my chest;

when I make love to you.

I’m not taking sides here,

I'm not taking sides here, just reminding everyone it takes a lot of *stuff* to get to that place where "I can't believe the pressure in my chest when I make love to you" is known. ~A "A poem is never finished, only abandoned." ~ Paul Valery
