Slow autumn at my window
The wrinkled body of the log
At rest within the fire
As if little by little
You had forgotten

The wind in the banners
Away behind the hills
Passing through my life
To leave me on the shore
Remembering the hour

Each day, each moment
All my love, the fire repeated
In me nothing extinguished
As if everything were sailing
Towards your island, wait for me

In my sky at twilight
You are my star
In your light my dreams take flight
How in solitary sleep
I believe you to be mine

The lamp of my soul dyes your feet
My arms of music, wide as the sky
Upon the shore
Lost in your eyes of morning
The land where dreams begin

There's a gentle goodness hovering about this poem.....and it makes me glad I stopped to read.

Hi Rob,

Your poem gave me the feel-good vibes, steady and strong faith flows from within and they got to me

Love,
MiCheLLe

If there cannot be equal in affection, then let the one with more be me - midnightblues
