Love Mountains Poem by Grant House

Love Mountains



She said, 'Mountains of Love.'
She looked Ken right in the eyes.
'I have mountains of love for you.'
With these vows they joined forces.

Love moves mountains.
In Louise's love universe,
The mountains moved.
Years fell away from them both.
Younger, more vital together,
They began a miraculous journey
Of respect,
And joy,
And openness to what might be.

Generous to the core
The mountain spirit of Louise
Rises now into a starry sky.
Trillions of stars.
Billions of galaxies.
Space beyond space.
She is free to be
Herself.
Her wonderful,
Playful,
Sassy self.

Their journey together takes a turn.
She is about to go on ahead.
He sits by her bed
Holding her hand.
She has drifted off to sleep.
He nods off too
Still sitting in that chair.
Their hands together
A peace.
A kindness.
True love.
Mountains of love.

Oh mighty Spirit
Thank you for Louise.
Her spirit travels with you.
Wherever we are
She will be there too.

Mountains of love
Mountains of love
Thank you Louise
For your Mountains of Love.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
For our 'Bonus Mom' on her passing. After Mother passed away, love kindled between a mutual friend and Dad. Louise and Ken had 15 years together founded in her optimism and verve for life. She succumbed to complications of dementia as did my mother. The photo was taken by my brother who came to visit our step mother, our 'bonus mom' as she like to be called, in her final days. When he came into the room, he saw Dad sitting next to her bed. Both had fallen asleep holding hands.
