Lost in the fragrant sultry air of this warm summer night, <br />Longing to forge my mind and pen in poet form. <br />My eager words outweigh my inspiration, <br />A struggle within my thoughts, like the brewing of a storm. <br /> <br />I could write of the mystery of the moon, of castles faraway, <br />The heaven's constellations, the dawn's last star, <br />The ember of passion, the whisper of dreams, <br />Of love lost too soon, the eternal healing of a broken heart. <br /> <br />With pen in hand, I follow destiny's voice, I think of you and I, <br />How our path's have crossed, two prayers joined, now bound tight. <br />We only know each other by way of heart, a gift given...held so dear. <br />Your words end my weary night, my words begin your dawn's first light. <br /> <br />Your sweet optimism of peace, fairytales and dreams. <br />Your quest to persuade me eternal, that they too, can be my reality. <br />We offer each other comfort, share words of family, of those we love, <br />Our words of wisdom, spiritualism and beliefs, our love of the sea. <br /> <br />We summon this devine companionship, to share our wishes, <br />Our haunts, where we've been, where we need to go. <br />Through unspoken boundaries, no promises made, <br />Smiles from within our hearts, words coming from within our souls. <br /> <br />(Undeniably, unmistakably for Michael....'thank you'....)<br /><br />Cathleen Hodgkinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/two-prayers-joined/
