~ Until The Stars Grow Dark ~ My entry into my own challenge Until the stars grow dark and there is no more day Until the moon turns black and the sun fades away Until the earth stops spinning in time and space Until the planets slow down and lose their place I’ll love you until the end of time that’s eternity Or until time should stop and suddenly cease to be When the air catches fire and the seas dry to dust I’ll be there right beside you. Why? Because I must If there comes a time when the sky turns green And from the deep in the earth things crawl unseen If the oceans run dry and the sea doesn’t foam And the rivers and the lakes decide that they will roam If the birds leave the sky and don’t fly anymore And what used to be your ceiling becomes your floor Then and only then will my heart leave your side For only then will I need to find a place I can hide Until the fires grow cold and the wind doesn’t blow Until the grass turns pink and the water can’t flow Until the music is played on a stringless lute Until you don’t need breath to play a flute I’ll love you until the sun loses all trace of heat Until the stars fall from heaven and my heart can’t beat Until the air catches fire and the stars don’t glow I’ll love you now and will ever love you so Marsha To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Floria darling girl yes indeed the challenge was to used those two lines in a poem. I'd actually used them already, I Thought I Knew...... And Now I Do But having given Keth the challenge in one of our chats, I thought I'd throw it open. The response has been amazing Each of them are wonderful. Please take the challenge up I'd be really happy if you did    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Keth darling sister of my soul and keeper of my hearts dreams YOU little fibber YOU know yours is utterly utterly gorgeous, and makes this look like something the cat dragged in. If I didn't love you sister mine I'd be GREEN with envy as it is I do love you and I can't be jealous of you because is a candle jealous of the sun? Well, I suppose it might be but it would be pointless. So I'll be in awe instead Shine on my incandescent sister shine on Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |
