What of this dread that all will end
Before dawns new light of day
Before my gathering work, undone
Or with my children, boundless play
And when I consider intimate,
Simple pleasures, so desperate attune
With all those nights I dream of your touch
While roses, unattended still bloom
And I fear the dark hours nearing
When I imagine your sweet charms no more
Or speak these words, but for only your ears
"My dear, I love you!"  Then at the cold door
Of eternity stand, and forever alone, I cry
Till tears enough the oceans fill,
And wash all the clouds from the sky

'With all those nights I dream of your touch
While roses, unattended still bloom'

Some great lines in this Rf, and the heart, of course...

"Of eternity stand, and forever alone, I cry
Till tears enough the oceans fill,
And wash all the clouds from the sky"

I loved the theme, and in particular the above lines.  Very nicely done.

'tis a briny tale...and mine own eyes doth add to the depths of thine ocean blue...

(big hugggssssss) Oh Robert, I hope soon the tears you cry will be the ones of joy and will have rainbows come sprouting out everywhere reflecting the roses and daisies! (sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Robert, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Right from the heart Robert - love this. Chris
