I hold you in the endearment of my heart
the way the arms of the night hold the moon
and for the sun and the stars to adore.
Not in shadows,but upon mountaintops
where the wingspan of eagles fly.
and as we grow old together
love is deeper than a winding river
more vibrant than an emerald valley.

In the cameo of my mind,
and in the springtime of our love,
within the scent of sweet blossoms,
our love will continue to bloom,
yet, in the winter of our life
still, we will be springtime lovers.

~Victoria

Ahhh . . . That last verse grabbed me where it was supposed to grab me, Victoria. This was/is a mighty piece of poetry about undying, everlasting love.

I do so love the image of this line:

the way the arms of the night hold the moon

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
