++ Elements ++ Poem by Mari Martin

In the quietness of my heart
do I hear his thoughts.
His remembrances intertwine with mine
becoming one memory.


The morning breaks
in hues of golden pink
bringing with it the first dawn
of a new beginning.


Where the stars of the night
fade into the silent watch
there is a calmness.


Yet,
a storm thrives within
that reels my senses
from one opened dream to another
like waves of endless motion
cresting and falling.


A deep ocean filled with currents
on which I ride.
Here, where earth meets water
is the strength of emotions
driven by an inner compass
that guides them home
to be renewed again
by pure gentleness.

Lingering in the quietness
I feel him.
In the brightness of a new dawn
do I see his soul.
My lips whisper to him
in words only he hears.


As my eyes explore his,
he takes me to a depth I have never known.
My soul soars in his ocean
as he glides on my waves.


Here in the quietness of my heart
will there always be a new dawn,
a place where two halves join,
a place where two souls meet.
Earth and water, elements,
in a world only known
by those who Love.
