Beyond the reach of touch and sight
there lives a love of awesome height
that puts to shame my lowly frame
and now fragmented brain.

So be it; it’s a thing well done
for that love is like the fearsome sun
that hastens everyone and me
to the far away from feel.

Too hot and so here in the shade
I lie on a bed the mind has made
drinking in and savouring
this reality of no meaning.

So march the days unto the grave
but not to say I cannot save
the knowing of love’s true intent
within a life’s woeful lament.

And I lament behind the eyes
that once looked forward/back in time
and behind a smile of loneliness
that once knew happiness.

So be it; I’m a maiden fair
content to titivate my hair
until, until, I suffer more
and call to love as once before!

Yes, and your final reaction is the right one, don't wait for too long, dear Helen.

So be it!

A very intense write, beautifully rendered thoughts.
