Same Time, Next Life

The days are short, the hours are few
I’ve not much time for loving you
We met upon the sunset hour
And witnessed love begin to flower

The body has grown ill and weak
The mind too fragile dreams to seek
But hearts are beating ecstacy
In rhythms of the pounding sea

Our love has come to us too late
A lover’s loss, a wicked fate
But time will bury all our strife
I’ll meet you here same time, next life

Just stand upon the ocean pier
The loveliest evening of the year
Against the red of sunset sky
A soul that loved but did not die

Your face will not appear the same
And I won’t even know your name
But this I swear to be what's true
Within my heart I’ll know it’s you

We’ll be as one, as man and wife
Just meet me here same time, next life

This is SO beautiful Elizabeth!
Reminds me of that quote I sometimes use
and I don't know who said it..
~I've loved you forever in lifetimes before~

~Hugs & Smiles, Nancy~

~ Trace my body with your words..
And in doing so, you touch my heart. ~

So beautiful, Liz.. it's already a part of my library and I'm glad you posted it again for others to enjoy.

Oh, make me Thine forever
And should I fainting be
Lord, let me never ever
Outlive my love for Thee
