Excerpt:
On Valentine's Day, I think of the fifteen years we have been linked in love.
Our hearts are entwined; Yours with mine, in love.
Your spirit and mine have become interwoven with time because we love.
Put your hand in mine and let me see
The face that is so beloved by me.
You kiss my lips you touch my face, I know we are together by God's grace.
Our souls are entwined, our spirits too.
You make this world Heaven for me and you.
About the Author: Evelyn Dolores Zoe Gordon
Evelyn Dolores Zoë Gordon was born in Dublin, Ireland and raised primarily in England. Though she lost her father at an early age, Zoë has fond memories of her mother raising two children as a single parent. This formed a bond with her mother that lasted through a prolonged illness when Zoë cared for her mother full time, as well as supporting her through her business efforts. This bond with her mother also began Zoë on a path of spiritual awareness that continues today. Zoë came to the United States in 1984 and married Floyd Sterling Gordon, a man who understood and appreciated the deep spirituality they found together. After nearly twenty-one years of marriage, Sterling passed on to the next stage of life. Their continuing connection is the inspiration for these poems that prompted Zoë to call the book, From Life to Life.
