Hearts Meeting Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Having paid my dues many times over, now wanting and
accepting an unconditional love at long last.

Heart open, pulsing with desire, hoping beyond hope
that it will be returned in kind.

Holding my breath, wondering if I will be accepted
entirely into your heart as I have taken you wholly
into mine.

Knowing that we both have been to hell and back, filled
with sorrow and grief, saddened beyond this life on earth.

Hoping that we reach out to one another, unafraid of
the future, only wanting to be together for the rest of
our days, never forgetting for a moment every particle of
our pasts and those we have loved in our lives.

A meeting of hearts in the holy space of our souls, finding
a love we both can nurture and grow over the years we have
left to us both.
