Dear Love...

Dear
Love

I thought you 
found me

I thought you
finally came
for 
my 
Heart

You did
          ...it seemed
then
my Heart
tore apart


Dear
Love

I've never
been this vulnerable
          ...ever
I gave
You
Me

Raw
honest
and
still...
          your light
cast only a shadow
          ...and I slowly froze
             in the cold
who 
am
  I 
now?
          Now
          that 
          the 
          mirror 
          has cracked
and I am alone


Dear 
Love

how 
can I possibly
keep up
to 
your changing pace?
to
your evolving grace?

I chase you
grow tired
lose
hope
          ...and Faith
             Fall
             and
             Sleep
and Waste
             my time
             my precious un-promised time
             my borrowed time
on programs 
and fear
instead of
             cherishing
             honouring
                  You 
             while 
                  You 
                  are still here


Dear
Love

are
you a 
Gift
that one day
I'll keep
          ...and Hold
til death
do-us-part?


Dear 
Love

where
is 
the 
Holy Grail
of 
Your
Sacred 
Self?

teach
me 
to
find 
You 
Within 
so 
I may drink
from thy Cup
So I may
Quench
my 
Soul
in 
the fire
of Your
warmth
without 
being Consumed
by your 
Flame


Dear 
Love

...I'm waiting


Not quite in my body, not quite feeling the wave of sadness threatening the surface of my Calm...but feeling...yes...feeling the softness of my love for you...that you brought me Joy...and when I'm back in my body, I might have the courage to feel the loss of you.

I remain,

Lesley
