Innocent Expression

Not always known to me
I ponder your unspoken questioning
Of my way of loving you.

Constancy describes its unbroken quality.
No weighted chain or hardened cable
Could ever bind you to me
As does this lightly spun
And delicate fiber
Of never-ending, never-broken love.

No base or vulgar cravings
Could ever touch
The lofty thoughts and aspirations
Which my heart and soul
Store for you.

Yet no gilded cage sublime
Constricts our free expression of love
For each and all mankind.

Wherever in this darkened course of life
Our paths should take each one of us;
Regardless of any isolation or obstacles beset
This love for you will persevere.

When too you meet
The successes of your planned course,
This persevering love will sing your praises
And reflect your light
Unto the end of time and space.

This innocent expression
Is as it should be.
Its time is right.
Its mode and form correct.
So too the matter of our love.

When the will of heaven
Does not protect,
One can do no thing just right.

Whatever goes before
Prepares for what comes after.
Turn toward the drawing light
Confident in the constant sublimity
Of our persevering love.

The innocent expression of that love
Will attain its proper course in time.
