When lovers meet for the first time in their lives and realize that destiny has other plans.

“Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.“
-John Lennon　

I was making my journey under a thousand points of light.

I ran into the tallest building, up I went in the glass booth, thankful I wasn’t fearful of

heights. Up, up, up, I went and the doors opened and I could sense.

A premonition you see and I knew subconsciously that something was in store for me.

She was standing there, working with care.

An angel working overtime in the summer’s night air.

An aura of beauty surrounded this delicate flower, and our eyes met, locked into

passionate power.

But this was in a dream long ago, I remembered.

A time that should have lasted forever…….

Like it was another life, reincarnation over night.

( I had seen this before, but it was locked away, in infinity behind closed doors.)

But she slipped away, lost in the crowd, as if to say, O my love what can we do anyhow?

This had to be a dream you see, neither here nor there, I was walking about in a make-

believe scene, made of the past and future it seems.

A fantasy world of a different kind, amazing and real, with the power to stop time.

This is where I met her, clad in green and yellow and body light as a feather.

Standing like a princess, posed , and fixed…..

Ready to offer any passerby a kind word or needed assistance with no tricks..

She was frail and slender, smiled easily, kind and tender, and spoke softly like wine and

song to an eager listener.

Her dark eyes held me spellbound and my mind was spinning all around.

I approached her and noticed her golden ear rings, long circular, and shimmering.

My piercing gazed passed over her form and I noticed again that she was fully adorn, with

jade, sapphire, silver, and gems that rapped around her neck and wrist perfectly matching

her clever wit.

We were in a place that was busy and full of other people in haste.

But time stood still for a moment and gave us that sense of grace.

Smitten, I asked where did she came from, her movement was like dance, graceful and

fun, O where do you come from, from here or beyond the sun?

She looked at me with almond eyes full of joy and laughter, and simply said, “Why?”

We talked some more and we realized that,

what just came before was something special, and so much more.

She smiled sweetly, knowing it was true

That love comes, right out of the blue.

This was an eternal thing, something precious that always remains.

But we were suddenly separated by a collision of stars, not even the moon could guide us

back into our loving arms.

But memory struck true, like stones embracing anew.

For true love never dies,

It stands the test of time

No matter where you are

Love will strike you from afar.

Destiny may have other plans

But the love you have, will always be in God’s hands.
