The Stay

I would come to you
Again, though
I have lost my way

I would find my love
In you, again,
Come the end of day.

Except time has rent us
Duly severed
Love was lost in one’s
Stone never
Forgiveness lies not
Within your heart
Not all endings begin
A new start

I would live
To cross that bridge, but

All I see is moat.

Those lines are my favorite...and the entire piece was wonderful!

very nicely done.. a sense of archaic language and style but with a subtle delivery which does not set the time.. nor set the readers mind entirely into expecting a "perfect" rendering of language or image to one time period.

Wonderful write to ponder here today dear Lady.
You have been missed and it is good to read you once again.
Hugs~

I found there lives within me,

ahhh lady this is a bittersweet beauty.
delicate, elegant and graceful as your words always are.

How foolish must man be, not to be impressed by mountains and trees
not to be brought to his knees by the beauty of the sky and sea
