Eternity
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.
