My Darling,   Friends tell me we met more than half a million minutes ago.      But I noticed, before a few seconds had hardly passed,      That time was standing still.   In its place, a merged continuum of      Tender touches, love, kindnesses and gifts of presence      All indescribably nuanced, existed.   Before,      There were beginnings and endings marked by      An endless procession of sunrises and sunsets.   Now      It’s days of azure and crimson filled with      Winding walks, delicious dinners, long slow kisses      and careful careless caresses that stop only long enough for      us to visit our children, mothers, friends and work.   Before,      There was only myself.      A tree bending in a mighty wind.   Now,      We have the shelter of each other,      A holy temple, our haven      That shields and holds us safe.   Before,      I experienced only myself.   Now,      There is  us!      A co-creation of meanings, moments and      Transformations into all things new. My darling,   The once stopped clock may still be ticking.      But for me, time continues to stand still.      And that’s a supernatural possibility,      Available only for those who discover, that      Love is all there is.   And we have!

Time Stood Still
My Darling,   Friends tell me we met more than half a million minutes ago.      But I noticed, before a few seconds had hardly passed,      That time was standing still.   In its place, a merged continuum of      Tender touches, love, kindnesses and gifts of presence      All indescribably nuanced, existed.   Before,      There were beginnings and endings marked by      An endless procession of sunrises and sunsets.   Now      It’s days of azure and crimson filled with      Winding walks, delicious dinners, long slow kisses      and careful careless caresses that stop only long enough for      us to visit our children, mothers, friends and work.   Before,      There was only myself.      A tree bending in a mighty wind.   Now,      We have the shelter of each other,      A holy temple, our haven      That shields and holds us safe.   Before,      I experienced only myself.   Now,      There is  us!      A co-creation of meanings, moments and      Transformations into all things new. My darling,   The once stopped clock may still be ticking.      But for me, time continues to stand still.      And that’s a supernatural possibility,      Available only for those who discover, that      Love is all there is.   And we have!
