WITH US TOGETHER

I am better with us together

Better than I was when I was alone

We’re both better with each other

Than when each of us was only one

We two together made me make a start

Toward a new approach to the life I’m living

Which never would have happened when apart

Apart from you and all the life you’re giving

With us together, your life flows into my own

Your influence wore down my harsh self-assertion

As water’s current smooths adamantine stone

Or discordant edges in a person

Like a river’s constant, faithful current

You give me consistent affirmation,

My heart secure with your encouragement,

I work my dreams into manifestation

All with you and all because of you

I incarnate learning with confidence

Ever seeking teachings to help me grow

And guide my heart in spiritual ascendance

Our love is a crucible, burning

With refining fire that purifies

All our aspirations, all our learning

Rising to a finer us, to higher highs

GOOD LOVE

You know me in my higher aspirations

And when I’m in a trying, troubling mood

In either you maintain loving relations

For which I feel eternal gratitude

 

The love we know and our fidelity,

The good life our love creates together

Gives us each a place of stability

In a world of inconsistent weather

 

I am pledged to you and you to me

In joy, in trials, and in confidence

We’ll be together to eternity

And live the timeless now as lovers and as friends
