. It’s been A very long time And I had Forgotten how Like water Over her shoulders A woman’s hair Can pool and fall Oh I could Gaze for hours Sitting by your shore So moved though Absolutely still The room’s light Like sunlight Sparkles on the ripples Around your form A nimbus glows Is it the moon now That has come out To see for himself Who makes This old world Sigh . |

An exquisitely beautiful love poem. I read the title as the saving grace being that not only is this woman your saving grace, but also that your love for her is your saving grace. - Owl |

This is a gentle and wonderfully romantic portrait, John. Well done, not overdone. |

"It’s been A very long time" I fear that this will be me. Because I already feel as if nothing can compare. I have really been enjoying your writings. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

I agree, John. Extremely well done. This is the way a love poem should be written. Subtle but romantic. Ida |
