My Vision...

My Vision
by Ella Draven

As I stepped out the door, waiting to encounter new adventures for the day

I met with a familiar object- my heart stopped and it took my breath away

It brought the memory of excitement and anticipation for the new

So I forgot the urgency of the moment and took a much better view

Its ebony tone and its non-imposing fascia reminded me of my ease

How the serenity of your presence quelled the shaking in my knees

I walked about its perimeter, looking for any identical sign

That would tell me you were here, and I could leave the day behind

We'd go out chasing rainbows to find the elusive pot of gold

Then travel the galaxies together, until we were frail and old

We'd uncover great new mysteries, and share them with our kind

Then return to the great unknown, and see what's left for us to find

You would teach me of the future, and I'd remind you of the past

For when these lessons merge together, the fields of wisdom are vast

The sun would at last retire, and the moon would make her regal rise

We'd lie hand-in-hand looking towards the skies

Listening to the songs of the wolves' amorous cries

Then you'd look into my eyes

And I'd see no better prize

Than the stillness of the night and the warmth from your embrace

The indulgence of satisfying our desires for each other's taste

Enveloped in the reverie of discovering one last feat

The finding of that one that makes your life complete.......


Just as I felt the sweet taste of you upon my lips

The firmness of your hands set upon my hips

As you drew me closer and I touched the heavens and divine

We'd declare with certainty that I was yours and you were mine

Time and space would wash away to openness and bliss

And I'd know right then I 'd want no other kiss...


But my vision was broken with the sound of a growl

It was the object dashing off, leaving only its echoing howl

I recalled the reality of time, and that you're not here yet

There are milestones that still must be met

But I will walk that path, slow and steady in my way

Knowing that I'll get to you that one fine day

And when I do, there will be no question or doubt in my mind

That you are the one I was always meant to find.



(Fear not my words, they will not suffocate nor leave you behind

They are only ideas and dreams-- the life's-blood of my kind.)
