My Coral Reef

I have been preparing for you 

my Love

I have reclaimed my heart and soul 

who are now singing my eternal vow 

to live a passion for the Love there is

I have plunged, head first

in deep waters intent on unveiling  

the mysteries residing within the coral reef 

of my human heart

It sits upon intricate patterns 

drawn on the golden sand 

resting at the bottom of my ocean

every line shaped by lessons of Love

marking the passing of time

I have charted my destination

led and inspired to unearth treasures 

precious jewels of shining hope and glowing kindness

inspired  by golden glimpses of faith and trust

laced with growing pains of earthly love

Many laid concealed under sharp edges 

conveying loneliness and mistrust

Others disguised in seductive colors and shapes

designed to mask disillusionment and heartbreaks 

Old and rigid sentinels sculpted and vigilant

forgetting the raw, inherent power 

and beauty of the heart 

Sailing my charted course has proven to be a worthwhile journey

I have found the Source of Love deep within my sacred core

it is now free from the bindings of the past

my woundedness now hosted and nurtured

by my own loving embrace

This is my offering to you Love

with you by my side I feel a rising force

softening every hard edge I encounter

gently stripping protections and guardedness 

of the valiant heart who trust that Love remains

no matter what

Having you in my life 

is a living testimony to hope and surrender 

to the forces of Love

I joyfully become an ocean 

blossoming with the colors of the rainbow 

reflecting Love on Earth

as You and I 

my Love

are swimming in it
