From Whence Did Love Cometh?


From whence, I’ve pondered
Did true love begin
Was it deep in the valley
Of a land without
Sin

Did it incubate in a chamber inundated with dreams
Dry roast in an oven of wonderful things

Did it undertake a journey of the greatest magnitude
Impregnate those around it with a kind…and cheerful mood

~ Was that the birth of love?

From whence, I wonder
Did true love bloom
Was it the meadow of eternity
Beneath a warm
December’s
Moon
Where there grew an ocean of pAtIeNcE
Watered by morning’s dew
Left me fantasizing the wonders
That I realized
In you

Is it the treasure of the rainbow
We “want” but never “seek”
Or, the well of youthful exuberance
That keeps us strong…but makes us weak

From whence, I beg you
Did true love come
Did it gather its strength from the rising sun
Has it endured hypocrisies, far and wide
Returned to celebrate with a joyful sigh

Did it take you on its journey
…Travel distances from afar
Like three wise men in Jesus’ day
Always following the northern star

From whence, I say
Did true love swoon
Was it along the river of contentment
Where every month is a day in June

Where April showers gave its serenity to May
May gifted it with flowers
…Air mailed it
My way

It came and went so ef-fort-less-ly
Made me giddy for a moment
But when it left, I was empty

Saying

To whence, I beg thee
Did true love flee
Left me barren
…As lonely as can be​
 
Love
Came from your thought to
Reject
What you found not perfect
To cause your
Up
Set

A means to get ready
To
Take
What you heard

But what you were listening
To
Were always your words

Each thought
Each
Minute
Each
Hour
Each day I devour

The misconceptions
From you
As to your own appeal

I am everything
You reject
That's why I am real

Lonliness
Is
A cause to be sad

But my husband left me
Before he saw me

Now

Who has the right to be mad?

You never lost everything you've got

You didn't want M.E. :(

But you still have my

HEART! :love:

It is unconditional, like my M.I.N.D
