Love Like Thoreau Poem by Patrick Szwaja

Love Like Thoreau



i never heard thoreau’s quote

“find eternity in each moment”

until i was living it.

and still it left too fast.

every night was a festival

of love and life and sharing

everything with one other person.

a day at the beach, slowly drifting.

walking the sands as the moon peaked

above us. two souls becoming one.

three words lead to a kiss that

nothing will ever replicate.

unwrapping the time around those

three words was more exciting than

any christmas i remember.

following, the gap that seemed forever

with no hesitation, savoring handing that

gift back to her. the single happiest moment

from 19 summers. the night i found eternity.
