LINES OF THOUGHT © 2016

My reasons are the ones you need most, my Love,

For in them, you’ll find your own warmth thereof.

They wrap around you when the world feels heavy,

And remind you that, deep down, all is ready.

Each of my reasons is a reflection of you,

A gentle echo of what your heart once knew.

For in my love, you’ll find your shelter,

And in my reasons, the meaning of life’s helter.

When you lack strength or direction to see,

You’ll know my love is the reason, indeed,

That in each step, in every day,

My reasons are also your joy on the way.

For Nicola.
