Taking matters at hand I decided to take a last stand at romance. She sways like a gentle song in the breeze refreshing the air with her charming fragrance. Her presence is everywhere consisting of everything and there is still so much about her to learn. I adore her in every regard respecting her strength and her power of mind.

I place one sure step in front of the next. I am determined to sweep her off my feet. I want to soar into a wonderful reality that I have never experienced before. The morning is dry and cold, yet my thoughts are moist and warm. Warm thoughts comfort me as the morning chill grips my skin. This reminds me that the climate of the planet Earth is in constant flux. It always has been and always will be while the planet remains.

Matters at hand are taken as a matter of fact. The adornment of my life seeds my mind with the most pleasant thoughts. Only the strongest of hearts can bear these thoughts. She sinks below the surface of the earth and holds the land masses that supports so much life in place. Her eyes are the rays of the sun. They bring light and create shadows. They highlight darkness. I smile because of them, even when I want to throw up my hands in discouragement.

I will take matters into my own hands. I will fall to my knees and plead my case before her. I will do this in a way that expresses strength and confidence for my cause. A cause consisting of standing, walking, and lying beside her in safety and peace. With words expressing the totality of romantic expressions I will remove her shoes and paint her toenails with justifiable kisses. Kisses that convey more than my mouth can say.

As the day progresses, the temperature raises and becomes warmer. My thoughts of her become a cooling part for the evolving climate fluctuation. My world can come to an end in an instant. What I have gained will always stay in the consciousness of the cosmos. I always decorate the nails of her toes with kisses. This act resides within the awareness of the universe. An act the communicates that day and night will forever come and that chill and warmth will contain comfort.

Sitting on the remains of a fallen tree beside a fast-moving unpolluted stream I marvel at the beauty of existence. I am confident that I can cup the waters of this fast-moving stream into my hands. I can drink it without fear of poisoning. No one has touched, no one has corrupted the waters that sustains life. No one has tainted the loveliness of her smile reflected by the shimmering waters of the fast-moving stream. I have kept my thoughts pure, untainted by social trends.

She is not there. She is not near. Yet she appears in my thoughts as a vivid reflection in the pristine waters. I cup the fast-moving unspoiled stream into my hands and drink eagerly. I take into my hands and drink devotedly. Her presence refreshes my awareness of life. It also highlights the opportunities that my next breath brings.

I take matters at hand. I point to love and take command of the current moment. I also take command of the moments that will come. Her glance tells me that there is nothing to hope for when the rays of the life-giving sun says, yes. Her eyes are the life-giving rays of the sun. They shine, feeding all the vegetation of my mind. Just as the sun turns blades of grass and the leaves of the trees green.

I am done. This is for a marvelous cause. That cause is to have a strong and possible connection with her. Her name is Sun-Rays that Sustains, and my matter at hand is to absorb her into my every day.
