Moments Poem by James Casey

Moments

We know we have it deep within
The very heart of we
To love as once we did before
Endearing, fervently…

As if no time has passed since we
Embraced the love we shared
As though we had not built these walls
Around the two who cared…

Perhaps it may be buried, deep
And far beyond our sight
But there the seeds we sow and reap
We'll harvest with delight…

I sense it now and then, although
It's difficult to see
For we are blinded by a light
That shines in she and me…

Perhaps it is our fear of this
The susceptible inside
That tends to push us far away
Into that great divide…

But we are steadfast, stoic, bound
To each, the other one
We'll not rest until we reach
The other side, undone…

And freed, each one of shackles born
Of pain from yesteryear
That we might once again embrace
These moments we endear…
