It waits
Love waits
like forged petals
you need only
to look
to listen
to feel
Rain falls
I sit and ponder
I wonder and dream
I contemplate
Rain falls
I sit and relax
I unwind and rest
I meditate
Rain falls
The sound fills the silence
It calms and seduces
Rain falls
She does not know
The power she has
It permeates my soul
Makes me better than I am
I long to hold her
To stroke her hair
To kiss her lips
Bring her a smile
Circle cast around the room
Elements enjoined
We sit and share our hearts and joys
Opening ourselves
Wood and stone
Incense smoke
Warmth of fire
Water stilled
Flow of energy
Hopes and dreams
Food and drink
We celebrate
Petals forged in white-hot flame
Attention to every detail
Delicate look
Inner strength
Gentle scent added
It will not fade
It will not wilt
It will always be there
