Circle Of Love

- for Carole St-Aubin

The dream
of true love:
affection
and soul
that collapse
decades
to find their
proper object.

What we all
want;
what so few
discover.

But real,
real beyond
the mundane
constraints
of time
and life.

True love,
forever
and ever.

A perfect rose
stubbornly
blooming,
warm and
scarlet,
against
the killing
frost
of eternity.

Testament
to the hope
and heart
that live
within us all.
