Because He Believes

in me, I regenerate
rise above the disbelief  
shredding my solar plexus  
 
Scale concrete walls of jealousy;
their barbed wire teeth snapping  
at the happiness of my experience  
 
Venus fly trapped throng
macabre cyber tongues starving  
for an offering of bone and blood;  
crumbs discarded by Love
 
Because he leads, I digest  
the view, breathtaking journey
of growing togetherness  
 
Stately Bradfords  
over dogwood cherry;
the prime of fruitfulness
shedding winter dormancy
 
Molting branches, fuschia  
and white, cover foot paths  
as flower girls for a bride  
 
Fronds unfurl, prostrate  
in processional obeisance
to our spring-step and life  
 
Because he Loves, I trust
my judgment and process;
I've been here before
I will be yet again, with him  
 
What else is there to know
beyond such contentedness;
discovering what you've sought
through lifetimes or more  
 
Waiting patiently  
without losing belief
despite discomfort or doubt  
 
Genuine gratitude
appreciation regardless--  
recognizing every moment
is a summoned blessing;
 
Because these are the keys  
to the Kingdom of Heaven

For My J, with Love💜
