The Picture




I see him now
his face an image on the page
this incident which moves us
to yet another stage
of knowing who we are,
no secrets anymore,
thus revealed to me the packaging
of the man I would adore
This man whose gaze directs
itself at me
    in forthright manner just as he
     would be
     In all our interaction large or small
     and all incidents to date
     I can recall

     I move to him somewhat subdued
     He is revealed to me in every mood
     In reality, not fantasy, I am now set
     and thus allow myself not one regret.

     With faith and fortitude we will progress
     and live this story line with smiles
     and much finesse
     with joy and laughter, tears and fun
     we will move together through this run.

Note: This is an old poem and I couldn't find the photo it is
describing. But this handsome gentleman will do  :-)

  1. I love this, Ellecee, the poetry and the photo. But must of all, I love the feelings that sparkle out of the words--there is love and strength and a kind of admiration that grows out of experience and time. ♥

    Like this idea of making it easy and being fair to oneself. Thus one can avoid the impending regret otherwise! Very true Ellecee!
