Far AwayAs moon's arise succeeds the slipping light, forgive your weary tears their flood and weep. Dear droplets, sorrow's storm in passing night, I'll come to you and dry them, each, in sleep. But as the morning reaches wide its hand to where you lie, think on our precious times of meadow talks and walking mountain land, reciting plays and songs and childish rhymes. And know in grace and gratitude we share what some oftimes await their living's span in vain to find, some saddened feigned affair, pretending love exists where nothing can. As clouds of night release you into day, I promise I will not be far away. Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

"And know in grace and gratitude we share what some oftimes await their living's span in vain to find, some saddened feigned affair, pretending love exists where nothing can. As clouds of night release you into day, I promise I will not be far away." ~*sighs* No one says such things with more grace and beauty than you, Claire. Extraordinary sonnet here, I enjoyed the read, as I always do.  *Krista Knutson* |
