The Dance of Love

When first I saw you

I wondered

Are you for me,

     Am I for you

     Will we belong to each other?

I show you myself

I love who I am

     Do you love yourself

     Enough to love me?

Will we care for each other,

As we care for ourselves?

     I've learned to receive

     Do you know how to give?

Thankful for instinctive grace

Let us dance -

     In unison we walk -

     We run upon living water!

Our hearts joined, we move -

     To our own life-music,

This endearing, enduring dance of love.

Dear Gentle Readers, I hope you find love, even when you have not sought it, give love, even if it is not asked of you, and nurture love, that it will grow - an ever-broadening, life-affirming dance.  Of all good things, I wish you enough. . .
