learning to love again.

I'm learning to love again ...
After yesterday’s dreams were shattered and destroyed beyond recognition by those who envisioned security ...
When there was nothing but self-doubt …
Safety...when there was only danger …
A straight path towards tomorrow ...
When that road was full of detours that moved me in directions I never expected to travel.

I'm learning to love again ... to start anew.
Exposing myself one more time for that incredible opportunity to live again ...
To imagine all the possibilities love might bring me for a while ...
A moment to soar far above cirrus clouds ...
A second to capture myself touching lips that will remain in my memory long after all else is forgotten
To feel the pain of too much love as it bursts beyond the confines of my soul ...
To shed tears of ecstasy as eyes meet and the knowledge of what moves between us brings awareness of the infinite ...
An instant when through her eyes I am in the sight of God ...
This I am prepared to do...because I'm learning to love again
