When beauty no longer misleads us
When our bodies no longer separate us
When our achievements are forgotten
When all our mistakes have softened
When talking is no longer a commodity
When love abandons physical currency
When you have been there all along.

I so did and thank you. Today the sun is out. Like a miracle. When it is always there. I forgot what it is like to feel warmed by the sun. Boo hoo. 🙂

🙂 Much love to you. Oh, I had a question about your beautiful poem you sent for the journal.. Would you prefer it stay lined to the left or may it be centered? It is so beautiful it must be on a page by it self and I was just wondering… ❤

The final line, ‘when you have been there all along’ speaks volumes and is certainly a testament to the title ‘Love until the end of time.’ It is a though-provoking poem and I enjoyed savouring it. 🙂

TREMENDOUS, Nomzi. The line “When all our mistakes have softened” is so on the mark but so understated too. And the last line – perfect.

I agree with Tish. The line about our mistakes jumped at me. Mistake can soften, and when implies passage of time.

Hello Timi. Such a lovely surprise to hear from you. 🙂 Yes, a lot mistakes soften with time. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, a few days, sometimes a lifetime, sometimes even longer than that. I reckon that forgiveness has a lot to do with the softening. On that note, have a fabulous week full of kindness and love. 🙂
