Responding to Your Love.

When it really arrives,

It is at a time when 

one no longer survives,

but is ready to thrive.

When presence

in silence

is enough to feel

excellence

in existence,

Gratitude in essence

and abundance 

in Reverence.

This is the time

when there is no "mine"

only a touch that

connects with The Divine

In a tune so fine

That it lands Sublime.

This is love -

stretching far above,

with not a shove,

but a gentle glove

that softly nudge

towards greater

levels of transcendence,

That touches on excellence,

In feelings of relevance,

with deep acceptance

that leads to confidence

in assistance for the

one whose love

is grounded in

Brilliance.

This poem is a breathtaking expression of gratitude that transcends mere thanks, evolving into a reverent acknowledgment of a love that feels divinely orchestrated. The gratitude here is not for grand gestures, but for the profound, silent presence that signals a pivotal shift from mere survival to a state of thriving. The poet is thankful for a love that offers a quiet, grounding excellence, making existence itself feel like a sublime and abundant gift. It's a gratitude that recognizes the space this love creates, a space where the ego's "mine" dissolves, leaving only a pure connection that feels both earthly and divine.

The gratitude deepens as the poet reflects on the gentle, transformative nature of this love. It is not forceful, but a "soft nudge" that guides one toward higher states of being and "transcendence." This love is thanked for its role as a source of confidence, acceptance, and a profound sense of relevance. It is seen as a stabilizing, brilliant force that provides assistance on a spiritual journey. Ultimately, this poem is a beautiful offering, a recognition that the lover's presence is a catalyst for growth, and the poet's gratitude is a heartfelt, poetic return of the profound "assistance" and illumination received
