"there is a love..."

"a dream is a wish
your heart makes..." - M. David

there is a love
much deeper than
the ocean...

there is a love
much wider than the seas...

a love that sits at the core of
something you can't name...

there is a love,
that never gives in, and never gives up,
and never gives out...

a love that lies
deep and centered..
untouched by anger, envy,
jealousy, or regret...
it is the calm eye of
certainty
unshaken by the storms
of change or
chance...

there is a love that
sings when darkness
lies in wait,
and all the demons
of the night
won't flee

there is a love that
holds your
hand
in silence.
and laughs with you
when nothing
seems to
fit, and
the ache of
not knowing
is too much to bear...

there is a love that
burst with
pride
and weeps with joy
and
is left speechless
with gratitude,
when her dreams
come true
and her star is shining
brighter than
the moon...

there is a love that
never dims
and for which distance holds
no meaning, and
the winds of time
no
sway...

there is a love that
burns eternal,
and in the night
can close it's eyes
and find her fingers wrapped
around a hope, and hear her
whisper
a promise of
"someday when...."

there is a love that travels through
the emptiness of weeks, and
months, and years of waiting
for seasons filled with fireflies
and wishes on a star...

a love that
navigates the sea of
nothing-but-a-tear
and fills a heart with
songs of
yesterday,
and daydream believing
and a pinky-swear to never forget
to remember

and this love,

this love for which I have no
words,
no gestures,
no symbols
from an ancient cave,
no photographs for framing...

this love
for which I have
only a sister's
heart
swollen and
overflowing its banks with
a teeming river of tears...
an endless downpour of love
that swirls, and dances
and sings in
gratitude
for what I alway knew
would
be

this is love,
a
fathomless
love...

for you.

"and when her
dreams came true,
I realized
mine
had too..." ― Anonymous
