You saw the cloud in brewing storm.
Uncertain inconsistent wind
of mood and darkened change had borne
a mass of grey unwelcome cold-
a creeping cold across your skin
intrudes!  With blood and patience thin
with burning eyes you wait…you wait
behind the blackened veil of night
your radiating warmth and light
are shunned.  As earth turns round
her face and round again to trace
her journey, comes the rain to soothe
with gentle fingers stroking pain
away- to wash to clean to save
to nourish; a gift that dark cloud gave.
His unpredicted kindness shown
whose purpose, whose intent seems known
He leaves on gentler sailing breeze
to leave the blue beyond at ease
to bare his soul the sky to earth
to prove his worth.
Now golden shafts of hope rain down
their warmth uncovered.  Back again
together still with grasping hand
which never left when wind did churn
the heaven’s breast; which never closed
against the lonely night when burned
the longing for his touch.  Your faith
your steadfast patient rock of love
outlasts the storm rebuffs the wind
remains to see the sun above
whose light below does cast to find
him you thought gone; who never went
but gone the same as for your part
Whose heart reveals him genuine-
Today, your valentine
