In Your Image

It started with a smile.
A gentle crease of the lips
and then a laugh
Your creation, 
an evident piece of beauty before you
I AM in your image?
your living mirror?
Joy springs from the caverns of time
manifest bliss
When nothing was,
boredom prevailed
Until a spark
and me here before you to enjoy
To share an existence together
we will struggle and converse
tears will be shed
and then reconciliation 
So many questions at your feet
they could fill volumes
We have been coming up with the answers together.
You cast hardships before us
a means to spiritual growth
evolution
what's that all about?
Love and the kiss
Yes!
Hate
Did you have to?
Everywhere I look,
I see you there before me
to share in life's great adventure
and my unquenchable curiosity.
