LOVES-GOLDEN MOMENT (Inspired by two special couples)

GOLDEN MOMENT

Theirs is a beautiful world of golden moments, deep attachment and love that flows through them and around them, they are in that golden moment when all seems possible and nothing can be denied, they are in the depth of deep love.

All around people want to be a part of this moment; they offer congratulations and the best while warming in the reflected brilliance of this love. They move as if floating above the ordinary things of this earth on a plain that is almost supernatural. For their love is so deep, so sacred that it transcends all and nothing will ever take it away.

But around them the momentum of destruction is mounting:

Time:     Time itself will claim them and change them they will not be the same tomorrow as they are today.

Circumstance:   They will be torn by the calamity and pressures of a world that in reality holds few true friends and many who are there to profit.

Family:  The expectation and pressure of their close ones will sometimes be almost too painful to bear and in fact is often the only thing that matters, which makes its barbs so painful.

Society:                Will change and morph into something that may be alien to them and drive them in unexpected directions sometimes not beneficial to their relationship.

Love:     Their love will change from the youthful exuberance of lust and sex into something more mature, more permanent, it will require of them a sense and capability of decision that is almost heroic.

Children:              If they are blessed with children they will bring their own rewards but paradoxically will often come between the very love that created them.

Health: No one has the right to good health it is a blessing bestowed indiscriminately and without any regard to timing, means and affect. The ability to survive its ramifications may test their love to the limit.

So bask young couple in the light of this Golden Moment, warm and find comfort in its endless possibilities.  Hang onto its golden thread as the years unfold and the challenges of life try to shadow its golden hew.

 

Written as a tribute to two young couples I know who have just become engaged (betrothed) and also to acknowledge my own Golden Moment and its thread that has lasted for Maureen and me for thirty eight years.

 May they also know true happiness and love.
