Life Poem by Phil Ward

As tender as fresh shoots,
Curious fingers explore new emotions as she weaves them into mine searching for nourishment,
A thousand rainbows with gleaming crocks of gold unfold,
We are floating down the winding avenue of the unexplored,
And sunshine fills my soul,
Catapulting, lifting skyward as swallows loop and twist with boundless energy,
A rollercoaster of freedom soaring ever higher and higher,
Love knows no frontiers never limiting nor restricting,
Omnipotent in the belief we will eventually be as one and account to each other as two halves of a circle makes a whole,
Touching, feeling the emotions familiarising our senses with the deepest innermost desires to recreate ourselves as another,
The perfect and ultimate act of reincarnation,
Preserving the future we will resurrect,
Ignoring unwelcome influences for we possess our own mandate for the new life evolving as nature intended without intervention,
Two souls enjoying the fruits of life,
Biting the apple for selfish pleasure and why not?
We are chosen by merit,
Guiding the innocent in the ways of our forefathers,
We are the creators of the universe.
