An Anniversary of Freedom

Sometimes only poetry can satisfy the soul.

Is it too late in love we life, whose striven longer or lust we crave

For wanton sharing of memories daze our minds for now or long lost days

Your beauty crests as sea to bow, from side to side as rhythm stays

And I must simply wait the tide for your return to mark my ways

And we are lost in transient weaves for sure of what we walk to cleaves

Of unknown shelter of content to what we wish for, lives unspent

For when all  thoughts can vanish blind to wisdom of the ages kind

For lessons learned, so much to bear, ignite the flame, explode the flare

Our souls unite in flight to sky, the cosmic essence of our lives.
