I have no love life, this isn't a surprise to those of you who actually know me. I write about love, I desire it, I wait for the day when I'll meet my wife and woo her...however, when it comes to the female gender, I am prone to excessive shyness and a wholly undesirable lack of confidence. Sadly in most every other area of my life I am far more confident than I probably have any right to be. Nonetheless, I have no love life, so I write poems about what I would like to have, what I dream of, what I hope for...blah, blah, blah. This poem is actually inspired by one of my favorite Greek myths, it is a story of compassion and commitment, two of my favorite words.
Planted as a seed of hope
Love may grow a mighty tree
A shade under which we might sit
And blend our hearts together
This tree might reach thick roots
Deep into the earth, drawing up
The life-giving water of gentle union
Received through words of grace
Let those words fill my mind
Flow from my heart to my love
Filling our lives with worship
That our well might ne'er run dry
May love 'twine together
Two lives grow as one
These trees of living consciousness
Entwined in lover's embrace
