Eternal Love

Eternal Love

The soft white snow falls

Like a blanket on the land

And it quickly melts away

When it floats into a hand

As I look out the picture window

I give a long deep sigh

Thoughts roll wildly through my mind

And silently I wonder why

Feelings that I can't explain

Surge through my entire soul

My essence is an abstract park

Where confusion takes a stroll

In a city where I've never been

A warm familiar face I see

His smile is bright and cheerful

I know that smile is for me

If only he could always 

Be there to brighten my day

Yet I know I'll have to go

Although I wish I could stay

A dream I've had for years

Is rooted deeply within

They say to get to the fruit

You have to go out on a limb

So that's what I am doing now

On a fine line, I'm taking a chance

I'm looking towards a blue sky

I hope he will join in my dance.

Author's Notes:  I have no recollection of writing this poem or who I could have been writing about.  lol  I guess he was pretty memorable.  Hahaha  Maybe I was channeling my future self for an event that has yet to take place.  That is my theory and I am sticking to it.
