(Have certainty) Given by Thoughts-of-Soloman at All poetry

Have certainty

although while we are not both physically together, I am happy:

in my love for you,
seeing you in all the faces which walk across my road,
hearing you inside even when I'm outside,
in thoughts of you, in which I keep your company,
sharing my superb mixture of cereals
with yoghurt and banana and grapes,
and how cutting hedges are so much more pleasure,
when they are yours.

All these thoughts which now bring tears, also now bring joy.

I'd have it no other way, than following this path,
knowing that we are according to our nature,
holding all which is meant to be,
that the nature which unfolds this same light now
carries such beneficence,
that it seems impossible for it, to not also hold good promise,
in unfolding more of this same nature out before us.

Beyond the whys the where-fores and conditions - I love you;
meaning that, in thanks:

you are me, I am of you, I am not you, and we are together,
we meet in this way, for that which is a truly wonderful gift given,

given freely from the most Generous and Compassionate Nature

and in certainty, all will be well for us.

May we become free from all fear.

Freedom.
Is a wide term.
A thin line between good and bad exists in freedom.
I love to cross this line in freedom.
So as you edit do look into what I say feel free and write your hearts desire. Forget for that one moment this tied up world. Your vows etc etc .But never hide your feelings is all I can say.
See this poem come alive. I would wish you all the best.

  If I understand rightly...
  Yes, not to hide feelings, in the sense of staying with open honesty, especially with your own self, is a vital requisite for true freedom.
  
  Thank you for your words.

Very powerful write Sol..I like this line a lot

'Beyond the whys the where-fores and conditions - I love you'--

your write reminded me of this piece for Rumi:

'When your chest is free of your limiting ego,

Then you will see the ageless Beloved.

You can not see yourself without a mirror;

Look at the Beloved, He is the brightest mirror.'

Wonderful job as usual my friend. Good luck!

  Thank you...
  
  I believe you were right, this part was the last which I deliberated over, so good vision on your part to spot it.
  
  I have made some change and think it's now improved.
  
  Thank you for your 'eye' Ruby.

This is such a deep write. you have pieced these words wonderfully together and it seems to bring so much emotions out. I loved the sincerity of this.
"My we become free from all fear", I really loved this line and it seemed to speak to me. Well done, this is really a wonderful read, all the best for the contest.

  I'm so glad to have your 'visits'...
  
  you know I feel much of what I'm trying to address for myself in recent writes, is completely connected to matters which we've discussed a little.
  I don't think that we are all that much different from each other in many ways, regarding the nature of things we all need to face, even though the circumstances are always unique.
  
  Thanks for your encouragement vanessa and all the best to you.

Sol,

Strangely enough, which I think I've said before, everytime I read something you've written it makes me feel it on a deep level with something I'm going through. Thanks for helping me work through my own thoughts so much! It means a LOT to me!!!

  Funny to think now... that I think we started sharing this friendship right back with that 'car journey' we took together
  
  and it means much to me too!

sharing my superb mixture of cereals with yoghurt and banana,
and how cutting hedges are so much more pleasure,
when they are yours.

I can't even explain how much this part moves me and almost makes me cry (along with the rest of it!) in a good way

Can't say any more.

  Thanks for your visit...
  
  I was still editing and the 'piece was intended to have more dimension than I believe it had at that point. I'm sure it could be improved further but believe it has come on a little.
  
  Funnily enough I feel it entirely to do with the subject of reconciling the 'personal' and 'real', something which I too, am endeavouring to find my way in.
