GRACEFUL SUBMISSION

GRACEFUL SUBMISSION

gracefully and humbly I tumbled into...
the reality of you and I and the evolution of we
never believing it was possible to be loved
in the same unconditional manner in which I gave it
I refused to acquiesce my emotional safety
to anyone that wasn't my spiritual equal

then along came you
your cognizance and spiritual awareness left me
speechless and completely in awe

you viewed me as your soul mate long before I
realized you were aware of me
gifted with the ability to see my spirit
you viewed me as the paradigm for spiritual perfection
and all who came before me were nugatory in comparison

I was overwhelmed by your desire for me

so used to being relegated to an ancillary level
... I was left speechless in the face of your declaration
that I was God created to be your Queen

I was unprepared for the level of faith you had in me

reading my words ... viewing them as a gift to be used
for His good ... you desired to assist me in ascending
to the level you were certain I was meant to attain
so I reveled in the evolution of we
... rested in your unconditional love for me

I took your hand, placed my trust in you ... and we stood

Together we traveled the bridge to nowhere
only this time ... there was a destination at the end
a place full of blue skies and beautiful clouds
a place for us to rest and be and grow and love

realization finally dawned on me as we embarked on this journey

it was never a bridge to nowhere
... I was simply unable to see it's reality
so mired was I in the misery of imagined failures
... I couldn't see the true worth of the journey
awaiting me at the end ... so I thank you ... my forever

for the clarification of you and I
and the reality of ... We
