The Wait of Age

The years do sway across the bridge of time
As wand’ring doves aloft in spacious skies
Bequeath their peace and lift our souls sublime
In ceaseless love that wafts itself to highs

Beyond the reach of earthly lovers’ ken.
Were we the last of love’s design and whim
Or would the lonely world lose heart again
If our devoted radiance could dim?

For thee, my love, I bear the wait of age
In ages subtly drawn upon the sash
Of time’s decay, when seasons strong do rage
Against sweet lovers’ hopes as if to dash

Our souls upon the ragged rocks below;
‘Tis love itself in us ‘twill swell and grow.

Maybe if I read a whole lot of these I might learn how to write them.
I'm envious.
Just can't seem to do it myself.

(sigh) Wow, the ending really hit hard, dearest friend, it has always sounded so harsh falling on the sharp rocks but this really got to me, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Steaven, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
