I know not hours
Or years
That could divide
The time I cherish
In my heart with you
And to you from me
Sand in an hourglass
Slipping through
And out onto
A mirrored shore -
Endless.
Silent as the windblown forest
Bedecked with dew.
And I would spend
All my days with you.
Or years
That could divide
The time I cherish
In my heart with you
And to you from me
Sand in an hourglass
Slipping through
And out onto
A mirrored shore -
Endless.
Silent as the windblown forest
Bedecked with dew.
And I would spend
All my days with you.
I wrote this to my wife for her birthday. It is inspired by both T.S. Eliot and John Donne, specifically the collection "Prufrock and Other Observations" and the love poem "The Anniversary," respectfully.
