ALWAYS AT PEACE

ALWAYS AT PEACE by Rick Haynes

For Teresa

Holding hands, we stood spellbound as we watched the stars way above in the heavenly black. The bright sparkles appeared to be looking down on us as if the majestic gods were riding their chariots across the universe. Dreams were like this, yet, this was no dream.

She turned her head, smiled and whispered in my ear. With my heart beating faster I drew her into my arms and gently kissed her forehead. Her wish for everlasting love and togetherness was my wish. And as I looked into her orbs of wonderment, I shuddered. Her hand tightened on mine and as usual, I sunk into her smile.

The gods may rule above but the love we share is beyond their understanding.

I am at peace with myself and my world and I need nothing more to be complete.

For the best things in life, I have already found.
