For not these aches, so many never known escapes
By far the farthest star, to reach in sharper shapes
Curves in happy harmony bend in shadow drapes

To take these revelations and prize them all to you
To be the brightest light in me of love so very true

For not each consequence, each breaking down of fence
By far the best you are, to charm my heart of innocence
Arches bold the love I hold to shine in graceful eminence

To take these dreams cascade and treasure oh so true
To be the shimmer found in me and glimmer all of you

For not these days without, uncertain doubt far now escapes
By far the future star, in mystic fire and breathless shapes
Curves in play beneath you stay wherever moonlight drapes

To take these tears of passing years and prize them all to you
To be the brightest light in me…of love so very true

Oh I loved this, when you come back - does this style have a name?  This was simply excellent.

I wish it had been longer.   This was great!

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn
