Life's Sweet Kiss

The honey draws bees and the autumn breeze leaves dreams floating on the wind. The day draws to its end and the evening begins with the moon grinning over the night sky. Fireflies dance along to a song of cheer – there’s a scent on the air – like cake batter mixed with childhood laughter – and the only thing that matters is the happily ever after that remains from the moment he said hello. You’re set a glow…floating on a cloud … remembering the moment he looked your way and said your name…it’s all you can do to contain the excitement that has rained down upon you.

You never imagined that today you’d become acquainted with joy – much less that you would find yourself acting like a love struck boy – but, here you are…finding promise in the possibility of newness…and you’re giddy – happy about the mutual emotions that you share –

Like a child at play with his favorite friend, you’ve become engrossed in discovering something new – you find yourself doing things you use to do when you were intoxicated with wonder – lost in the sensations of elation that derive from the anticipation of seeing him again – it’s all so reminiscent – of when you were young and in love – only now you’re mature, and self assured – you know how to endure the infatuation – so that you can get to a place of truth – and you still feel the same – like a child at play…and it’s in this moment…that you know – you know that what you feel…is something worth exploring. So you explore – you boldly make an effort to learn more…more about the things that make him tick – and you find yourself becoming more connected.

The infatuation dissipates – replaced by a chemistry of two … which transforms into a foundation for something true. The honey draws bees and the autumn breeze leaves dreams on the wind. The night draws to its’ end and a new day begins. Rays shower the budding flowers as your connection blossoms with each passing hour…and you surrender to the power that love has to redefine bliss. This is life’s sweet kiss, waking you into awareness. Now – now you have found true happiness!
