ultimate joy

The moment was perfect

                an instant knowing

                                and then

                         we rested in each other’s arms

there was forever in our coming together

                 that place of ultimate joy

        when we looked into each other’s eyes

                 the bond was sealed for all time

                                 plus one day       

                        in case that one of us misunderstood

it is in the chemistry for us to be in love

                 and that will always be

                        throughout forever

                                 throughout forever

                                         plus one day

my sense of your being abides within my heart

. . .

the best is always yet to come
