Eternity

By: Robert Louis Arehart

What makes my heart
beat like a drum?
It's swift-run tattoo
gathering strength from the fact
that you are near.
Your heady presence holding me!

I think, I feel, I cry!

You are relief, succor, sustenance!
My world is bittersweet
and filled with wait and longing.

You are here - and gone too soon!

Eternity with you is not enough!

Our life together will not end,
but, gather light and love
as time goes ever on.
