For you and you alone, <br />Creation has somehow come about.. <br /> <br />for a moment, held its breath <br />and then, breathed you, <br />to demonstrate its awesome powers. <br /> <br />For you and you alone, <br />worlds have collided: not <br />the planets and the stars <br />in their graceful distances <br />(though some say, even they colluded) – <br /> <br />but worlds of cause and mind and body; <br />for you and you alone, <br />miracles have become commonplace. <br /> <br />For you and you alone, <br />the gods invented blue: <br />painted the windows of your soul <br />which have yet to focus, <br />with a blue so delicate yet bright, <br />so here and yet so far; <br /> <br />eyes that just now for a moment opened, <br />remained unimpressed, <br />closed into a smile <br />at what you still remember deep inside; <br /> <br />For you and you alone, <br />a lifetime’s been prepared <br />(some say you wrote the first draft of the script..) <br />but right now, you and we <br />live only in the present; may you <br />live always in that.. <br /> <br />For you and you alone, all one, <br />Love is. <br />Love that made the world, sustains it; the <br />infinite electricity of your mother’s touch, <br />your father’s sheer delight; <br />for you and you alone, Love is.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-looking-into-a-cot/
