All the Love You Ask of God Is Here

January 13, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is anniversaries.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A name and fortieth anniversary poem about a need that never ends:

All the love you ask of God is here,

Delivered by yourselves, but made elsewhere,

Eden's legacy, that you might be

Less fearful that your time pass by untouched.

Even after forty years of loving

And sixty years of life, you need no less,

Needing still the kiss that stills the darkness,

Desperate for the one who shares the night.

Long, then, may you love, each giving each

A window to a mirror, in which both

Will see a grace beyond the grace of being,

Rendered into life by your own hand.

Every moment sings in celebration,

Noticed mainly when the hour chimes.

Carillons now clang joyfully in tribute,

Eloquent reminders of your love.
