A LIFETIME...

3-6-2025

Just to get it right..

Serendipity says...

NO!

Reincarnation..

Begs to differ.

A lifetime to get it right..

is a recipe!

A dash of time..

add a sprinkle of luck..

season with desires..

sauté for a few years on high..

Then simmer..

'til ready...

Set out a table..

..properly..

..with candles..

..flowers..

It's a recipe from the heart

Thus a showcase to the finish from start..

..to create mood!

Then wait..patiently..

for that one that's walked miles in your dreams..

..'til the credits roll..

And the steam no longer rises from cold dish

Bitter..

but sweetly...

You get the message...

It's not the right lifetime..

So you prepare for the next..as mentally,

..you reach out..

With the dull ache sitting heavy on your heart..

..you renew the promise of each lifetime..

In a quiet whisper,

I will wait at every stop..

in every lifetime..for you

Until eternity itself surrenders!
