Searching for the True

Sweetheart…
Loving you was never a choice. Knowing you first as a friend held my heart open so it could be almost unknowingly filled with you. I overflowed with love for you almost before I was aware of the emotion.

Scottish poet, novelist and translator, Edwin Muir
reimagining-my-lifeYes, yours, my love,
is the right human face.
I, in my mind
had waited for this long.
Seeing the false
and searching for the true,
Then found you
as a traveler
finds a place of welcome
suddenly
amid the wrong
valleys and rocks
and twisting roads.
