Love’s Lamplight
20 July 2006

To have finally found her to love
yet was this God’s doing or another
Of a desire distant but unique
only there was not all in summer to endure

Her heart at rest, another to ponder
this element of respect, mutual to name
Carried upon the wind, embraced toward the sun
to know her and delight, but would He make her one

Terror and triumph, the destination unknown
prayers given, thoughts to openly partake
Could this be love at last, or lost before found
those days of tearful uprising, still to such thought

Fear, pain, anger, as to why now as then
her heart a flutter, a debonair uprising
To have it all, in wanting to know the truth
eyes closed to her in imagining,
tomorrow did it exist

“For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light;
and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:”
Proverbs 6: 23 KJV
