Love Poem: The Birth of Hope

The Birth of Hope

A photon wave, I lighten the broadest vista, 
not a nook that has ever contained me, 
unable to choose between two dark eyes
my ripples enter both simultaneously
striking but one heart, I'm free.

One light is all that can exist
and though I am but a fragment
the chance of you not surfing
my expanding disturbance of space-time
is infinitesimally small.

Let us rejoice then however many times
our reflected waves may interfere
and celebrate our massless voyage
that always reaches outward, 
diffracted at times but determined.

To stay the course our heart's desire, 
our memories will last as long as
God still looks to future days, 
recognizing in our tiny spark, 
the birth of universes He has yet to dream.

So, you and I live on in time, 
how could one dream forget another, 
what God has joined with, in His heart, 
cannot be torn asunder, 
for as He Is, I Am, and You Are - always mine.
