BENCH, LOVE, POEM, in FOURTH DIMENSION

Image for this post is my 'header' (above)

Looking for a new header, I said "You choose".

As this bench appeared at edge of sea

I 'felt' a poem arise in me.

This is dedicated to Thee

Who dresses my blog

In sweet raiment

A BENCH OF WOOD

A POEM OF LOVE!

FOURTH DIMENSION

This, the tale told

By a wood bench

Where two sat

By the hour, by the day

And sometimes by night

She, and he,

Came here to be

Alone

With the sea

And with God

Together worshiped

Creation

And Creator.

They, these two,

with prayers of love

Blessed all

Which is seen

And unseen

From wooden seat by seaside

With glass canes probed

Walls of rocks and sandy

Shores of Sea Serenity

Each shared dreams

Of their history

Of mystery--

How they met,

How they bet.

Gambling on long life together

They won--each with the other

The game of life.

Two had sat here

Hours...days, years...

And sometimes nights

Delighted with none

But one-plus-one

Combined, equated

To ONE!

The bench of memories and dreams

How vacant now seems

(But vacuous--

Is anything ever?)

There is room now

For two who

Love much

To sit by night,

By day, to say,

"I love you so.

Don't ever go."

Room made for them

By two who so

Deeply cherished

Each one's soul

That

As angels watched...

Two one night ascended

To heaven, lightly--

Holding hands--tightly.
