In truth, too much resounds
To vessel the sunrise and dictate the moon
Or nay, bridle the wild of rivers placed intently to be free
The clear thrust of just one arrow to the wind
Undaunted in predestined journey, but to wound then carried to the grave
There is no sadness in the silent stream, the sea in her blood
To carry him upon the surfaces of light into his pledge divine
And know, though silent and at peace, with open arms to him
The dance of tease about his ankles, she has traveled all about his heart
Making a familiar mark in scents of lilac as crimson lay the kiss
Yet force against the tides of her, burst forth in trillium and deluge
Sweeping o’er her banks to touch him, driven and carried a soulful sigh
And pure the way of rambling spring, to fill a crystal pool and bathe him
For this, in truth, is more…far more than meander or swift
This is love everlasting

As always, you combine the sweetest sorrow with joy of loving, beautifully.
