My love for you is an ancient love.
As for eons the sun has risen,
on that one perfect Spring morning,
with the purity of Earths fragrance
that transcends all worldly thoughts,
and goes beyond the hearts mere beating,
or feeling of human needs.

As out of the ashes new birth,
this love is reborn from pain,
that it no longer remembers,
and holds you tenderly with cherish.

A love so full and so beyond,
that oceans roar pounding
with passions old upon the sands
of eternal time and neverending,
are as nothing or everlasting.

Loves stillness of a snows early morn
pervades this soul with deep warmth
of old fires quiet flames of joy.
Love that will last above the beyond
of times immortal passing.

You are my beloved, sanctioned by He
Who created all bliss.
and yet...
I shall love you more the morrow.

In all your frailty do I hold dear.
For this essence that is you,
is tender and gentle flame of love.
and so...
On this love shall fire burn bright
in the hearts of our children
and they will one day know,
this love
was an ancient love beyond
all earthly days
or mere mortal understanding.

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Ellie~
In reading this beauty again ... I was struck by these words~

'and they will one day know,
this love
was an ancient love beyond
all earthly days
or mere mortal understanding.'

I have been blessed to know such an 'ancient love' as this~

Bless you dear poetess~

Mom,

This is by far the most beautiful and enchanting poems you have ever written. If there is another book this should be in it.

Love ya,

Beth
