In His Elements...The Unbeatable He
Be whatever you want to be—
Be the drifting cloud,
Or the free-buzzing bee;
Be the timeless-running river,
Or the wild and whirling sea.
Be the ocean, vast and calm;
Be the meadow,
Or the steadfast-rooted tree.
Be whatever you want to be.
I see you—the benevolent sky,
The forever-blinking star
That never fades, never dies.
I see you—the shining sun,
The brilliant moon,
Unwavering and high.
The throbbing heart you are,
The breath that fills,
The guiding light, constant and clear—
Forever near, never far,
A beacon bright to steer.

You've given something to something or someone.The freedom to be what they want to be. I loved this theme and wish that I could get certain people to do the same for me. Great poem with prayers which I'm sending your way!

Dear Candle
You've honored me and my poem.
Someone once said, as the poet submitted his/her poem, it's no more his but the readers.
You simply make my day with your words dear friend.

This is such a lovely poem,
This is such a lovely poem, brimming with love and appreciation for your other half. The second verse is my favourite; a sense of worship and admiration, the way one looks at the night sky in awe and wonder. "I see you" - those three words are so validating, so reassuring, so empowering. Just beautiful all around.

Hello Lilacsandleace
I don't think that we've met before so nice to have a new friend to my page.
I appreciate the way you've read the poem and got the feeling between the lines. That stanza was my favorite as well. :)
Thank you again. I'm looking forward to reading your works... Soon
