Click hereTime runs on, its endless race
sweeping away both tears and smiles
as night follows day
and day follows night
until all is swept away.
The waves pound in, their endless force
carving away both trees and land
as they fall into their embrace
pounded and twisted
until all is swept away.
Yet gazing on your face
and vowing eternal love
I defy time's threats
ignore the waves
and place my faith in us
All other things shall change
but this I swear will not
and even though we be swept away
with time's broom
some trace will stand
These settled vows and spotless faith
time cannot remove
and courage shall show our inward faith,
as faith shall try our love
till all be lost and time stands still.
I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away
Who's to say
I can't do everything
Well I can try
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem
You have a gift for writing, whether it be stories or poems. Thank you for sharing this with us.
This beautiful poem is quite lyrical; I feel and hear the lovely phrasing and images of optimism and romance.
Thank you, Migbird, for your lovely prose poem - so glad to have been the cause of it xxxxx
Thought provoking with beautiful flow. Pardon me for highlighting a few verses/part of a stanza that resonates for me in a way possibly inconsistent with the closing message of your poem (or maybe not). Some 16 plus years ago very strong winds toppled some large trees in our woods — they embraced the land. Today, there is but bare remnants of the trees, all but swept away. Yet, the trees and the land are now one together forever/timeless.
