In the Midst of Freedom and Greatness
The reason and cause to care...
What started harmless crushed and attracted
a glance from across the hall
the igniting of a gentle spark deep and unrecognized
this light truly as subtle as a needle stick
for a fraction of a second
then covered with dirt and grime
forgotten as quickly as it happened
this same particle sized spark
came from nowhere,
but it was this spark that
resonated throughout and became
a beautiful song within, but still remained unrecognized..
days would pass with
a lighter step
a smile of unknown cause
a desire for goodness
months would pass
the glances became gazes
the attraction became understanding
the crush became cherished...
words began to come with soft expression
laying a path of rose pedals that floated
it would seem
which didn't matter
for we couldn't even notice the ground..
What had been, this tiny flicker
this spark the size of an atom
turned out to have a match..
In the midst of
a shadowed freedom and ideal of greatness
the chaos
and uncertainty..
A lovely, most lovely
lady fairness of beauty to no end
and of goodness unfamiliar to most
remarkable in wit and charm
with a depth of stare burning through and through.
we have found in one the other
and in finding, had been revealed these virtues
that have been abandoned...
shall i speak of the love?
as, being redefined..
as, clearly exposing the cruelties
and reaching to right the wrongs
in like mind..
as, uprooting even the lifelong ideal
for she is by my side in point of fact
as, understanding respect and the highest regard
for another so deserving.
as, sacred protected and gifted..
Changing the past is not
the "blood sweat and tears" are forgotten
by the masses
Further, far we have traveled in time yet
not in manner for the past is still much with us..
Though adjusting to the tolerance of the disgust
this lifetime is not of mine own
for in the midst of it all
there is beauty and peace joy and worth
she is my lifetime now and forever.
it will be my finest work and goal
lofty enough for a king I realize
but had that spark not been meant
for greatness
the dirt and grime would have
overcome...
so, mi esposa
to say
Te amo
an understatement at best
we have the ideal in truth
