REMAINING ELEMENTS

There are moments in life
where nothing on this earth seems solid,
where time and all it holds, blurs together
and where everything that was true
seems to be a lie.

During these times the one element that remains
deliciously real,
is the way your arms feel around me

The one element that reamins
constant,
is your love and the way your heart beats
so softly against the smooth surface of your chest.

I know that no matter where we are in life,
those few things are proof
that as long as we have the strength to go on
our love will burn as brightly as it did from the beginning.

And that is how I can fight so passionately,
and that is why I can cry so deeply,
without losing hope for a love that erases the concept of

anger,
   fear,
     and sadness.

We forget all the power we hold within ourselves
to love each other so completely
and yet survive with the knowledge that it will always be there like the sun after a storm,
        spring after a long winter
            and the coolness of night
                after a garishly hot day.
