THINKING OF HER
This past Valentines Day, I sat down and tried to write what my wife means to me. These are the feelings which rule my heart.
LOVES RISING AND SETTING
It has been with us since the first day. Time is measured by it’s wake and slumber. It paused to allow a Godly warrior time to breach the walls of an enemy. It melted a young man’s wings of ambition when he flew into its realm. Its absence can cause panic and fear, leading souls to believe death or doom is near. Men have worshiped it, calling it by many names, dedicating temples on its behalf. Empires are named after its magnificence. Travelers have followed its direction home. Its reflection on the surface of water, or in the eyes of a beloved have inspired poetic masterpieces. Its passage through a jagged piece of glass or raindrops can make the beholder bow to its refracted beauty. Its name can be found in the titles of countless literary gems and sonnets. Its bathing rays of color upon mountains and fields of plenty have inspired anthems. Its radiance can cause a meadow to bloom with vibrant florals, or to be barren with no hope for life. Its presence brings balance and stability to those heavenly orbs that encircle it in reverence. A soul will seek shelter from it on a sweltering summer noon, or solace on a frigid winter morn. Whenever lovers in the west hold one another’s hands and watch its departure, lovers in the east tenderly hold each other and watch its arrival.
For you see my darling, my love for you is like the Sun, when the Sun sets it also rises. The Earth is always in its embrace, just as you are always in my heart.
