more than this
I am not able –
to speak of truths beyond my own
to choose of all
the chance for losing –
paths unquestioned
(now) are known

wherein the moments
meant to claim us
can never (now)
be less than these
would e’er the sun
be sworn to shadow –
eternal soul
by love released

as cool to embers
wings to wafting –
nature comes to give us hope
a deeper faith
than just surrender –
burns beyond the light
we know

whatever time commits
for finding –
who I was before you came
makes no difference (now)
forever –
keeps the memory
of your name
