Poetry - Live and Love
49
Time in Life
There are times in life, like,
Sitting by an old oak tree.
I feel the love
She holds for me.
There are times in life
Lying in bed at night
Waiting on those bright head lights, and,
Her voice.
There are times in life,
Breathing in sacred silence,
Dreaming lazy contemplations,
When she sashays through my soul.
When comes the time,
Where all the days are right,
All the nights ease in,
And we revel in each other?
Why do we choose
Our work, all that’s pressing,
Over what we value most
- each other?
There are times in life
When I need to love my wife.
That time is ever-present
Like now.

Thank you kennynext! I wrote that poem about five years ago and I stumbled across the rough draft last night. I felt it held promise, polished it off a bit and posted it. We're going on twenty years now and I love her more now than I did way back then. I am amazed and fortunate. I will most definitely keep loving my wife. Thank you for your comment and advice. It is very much appreciated!
Oh this is really beautiful! Nothing may be allowed to create distance between a husband and a wife.
Thank you MartieCoester! Poetry is such a difficult thing to share. The vulnerability issue is not small. I'm beginning to go with the assumption that others will relate to what I've written, so it's ok. Getting positive feedback is critical and coveted. Heck, I suppose even critical feedback is coveted, but that positive lift feels good! Thank you so much for stopping by and reading.
Have been reading your other poems too... and really love your way with words. It's so refreshing to come across people here who write because they're meant to and have a genuine talent for writing. I hope you will never stop voicing your thoughts and inspiring your readers with them. Take care :)
Hello myownworld,
Wow! Your comment made my whole month. I admire your writing, your strength of voice and your willingness to take on difficult topics. As I commented on one of your Hubs, there is a very good reason you have so many followers. Your comment lifted my spirit today. It is truly a compliment I will carry with me. I will continue to voice my thoughts. Thank you.
