Let Love Hold Sway Poem by Anita Atina

There are powerful forces of the universe
Their wisdom beyond our knowing
Reasons at play,
That drew us together,
So similar is our seeking

I don’t know what the future holds
As our hearts envelop in magical folds
So lets stay in the moment
In the now that we share
Relishing each day

We both have questions, doubts and fears
Anxieties from the past, flood our hearts
Shy hope for the future, flutters delicate wings
Between the past and the future
We often stand at the crossroads

When blue eyes meet black
And our dreams merge
What will we discover
The truth, we don't know
Yet trust we must, in this hope

For this hope runs between us
Like a golden chord of light
That you hold during bright daylight
And I during black nights

Let our sharing be a source
Of joy, of strength, of hope
Let it not be a weakness
That hollows hope

Lets not plot the future
Or plan, what's next to now
Lets stay in the moment
And discover each day

Life is mystical
In its own secret way
Will guide us forward, together
On a path that awaits the day

And when we step on this path
There will be petals strewn along the way
Stones and thorns hidden
May hurt our feet, for a day

Persist we must, as seekers
On this wonderful journey
As we travel together, we may yet find
More of life, the eternal journey

Yea time will test us, as it must
So we know what we feel is precious
'Tis not a passing fashion or lust,
It is love indeed for real!

Love has many faces, we are cautioned
Lets not judge by the faces we know
By past heartbreaks or rose tinted dreams
Lets stay real and the rest will unfold.

In this unfolding we may yet find
Love has facets untold
Believe this sharing, will lead us
To a place we both must find

Don't question the future, my love
’Tis by our actions, written everyday
Lets surrender to this sharing
And let love hold sway.
