Love's Flow

Like a river jumping for joy  over  shiny grey rocks.
That’s how my love felt.
The swirling undercurrent spinning the pearly pebbles every which way,
that’s how my pulse raced when I thought of you
Meandering, snakelike, it’s water flowed along until eventually finding home.
That’s how my  confusion became  resolution.
Sweeping all in its path, yet giving sanctuary to kingfishers and dragonflies,
is how we protected and nurtured our love.
Sunlight piercing the calm with shafts of golden brilliance, dancing in a glitter array!
Was our golden love, never to  be tarnished but ever glowing.
Eventually, defying beauty in its path , nature leads it to its destiny - the sea,
and unhindered and willingly, like the river,
I am engulfed in a welcoming  sea of love.
