Love Poem: Here It Comes

Here It Comes

I believe in warmth
   the comforting embrace of a loved one
   crackling campfire on a January night
   the smile of one who knows you're here to stay
   it's been a long, cold lonely winter
I believe in hope
   faith is the assurance of things hoped for
   the certainty of what we do not see
   I don't see it, but I know it's coming
   it feels like years since it's been here
I believe in love
   the tide that lifts all boats
   the surprise gift
   the compassionate ear that truly listens
   the smiles returning to the faces
I believe in light
   and the One who said, "let there be light"
   the true light that gives light
   empress of the night reflecting glory of the daystar
   it seems like years since it's been clear
I believe in song
    we sang to the moon last night as she rose:
   "Shine On, Harvest Moon", "Moonshadow",
   "By the Light of the Silvery Moon".
   Little darling, it's all right

We sing again in chill of daybreak
   with the roseate glow of realized anticipation…
   "Here Comes the Sun"

// The song "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles has been my favorite song as long as I can remember, for its simple message of hope, light, warmth, and love. It was the song my daughter chose to have played just before we walked the aisle on her wedding day, a very special moment for me. //
