The Watch I watched my shadow crawl to the sea Standing a beach of antiquity. Eaten by the glitter of the sun It disappeared and became as one. A quickening of essence bright Born and gone in the echoes light Sparked alive and arced with the tide My only thought, you by my side I accept the change the strange and bane But thoughts of your loss drive me insane. I cannot accept the end of our rhyme I would that we stayed together in time. I know you’ll say we circle forever But I don’t think I could stand the sever And though I digress of things I don’t know It is only my wish to make it so. So hold my hand when discarding the core I would only you in my evermore. |

"I would only you in my evermore" I love how you express your tender thoughts... I would say you get better and better..but I think you have been there for awhile. *s M |

So hold my hand when discarding the core I would only you in my evermore. ======================================  ~*~ On wings of rhyme we take this endless flight Over sands of time we circle infinities light Whispered winds carry this wish to a dreamer's star afar Believing will close the scar, leaving evermore's door ajar Your wish, my command, I'll write your name in the sand Hand in hand, we'll walk your warm beaches of understand Winds of change may blow ... but this you will just know A hand held out in trust's bestow ... I've no intention of letting go ~*~  *winkiwinkie*  ... and I don't know why ... |

Seymour darling boy Oh my I’m breathless with wonder this is simply gorgeous. YOU do KNOW I simply LOVE your writing don’t you? I can actually feel the depth of this, this is utterly utterly wonderful. Truly awesome writing you are always a fabulous writer. Utterly utterly exquisite, writing, lovely flow, perfect rhyme I love it I’d walk beside you evermore Though tired, hungry and foot-sore The sands of time can summon me To take me back to journey’s sea But this with you I’d love to share Your life’s walking here and where Time has no meaning to my soul By your side I’d feel I’m whole I’d walk beside you in shadow Where times sands cease to flow I’d learn all that I could of you Show what I’ve learnt is quite true In minds eye we could go far The highest peak or brightest star Across desserts of shifting sand We’d walk together hand in hand I’d walk beside you into night Turn my eyes from the sunlight No fearsome darkness could hold me Walking with you I am free When the day comes for you to go I’ll shed no tears for I know That you will still be here with me Now and for eternity Marsha  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 Luke 2:79 |
