The Greatest Gift


A visit to our special place I often go.
It is here that I feel you the most.

I walk the hidden path of flattened grass,
until the place where we gave to each other
the greatest of all, the gift of ourselves.
Here the birds graced us with their songs,
as the tall waterfall played it’s gentle melody,
upon the smooth rocks below.
We sat upon the cool green grass,
shaded by tall Cyprus trees.
We looked upon each other and saw into the heart.
Together we sat holding one another without speaking,
But our hearts spoke volumes to each other.
As our bodies slowly and tenderly became one,
Our hearts soared as free as the birds above.
We had become one in heart, spirit, and body.

You are still with me, and I will treasure you.
Whenever I hear the birds sing,
Or smell the scent of sweet Cyprus trees.
I will remember that day we shared,
Our greatest gift.

      Thanks so much for your kind words my friend. I am so glad you enjoyed the poem. When my Hetane comes to me visit me in my sleep he leaves these footprints on my heart and in my mind. I must write them to give them life.
