". . . for there is no place
that does not see you. You must change your life."
~~ Rilke
Oh, your life will change. Against your will.
Love leaves
and even the edges of possibility change
The walls around you hung with pictures
Surfaces, holding memory
The floor buckles
Later, in another country
water rises and more is lost
Refugees travel light and lighter
Resettled, digging out yet another
garden, moving rock, making dirt
planting, yes, by the sweat of your brow
The river wall gone now, and terraces and stairways
The very earth moving
Your life will be changed for you
again
and again

Though change be part of all life,
we also know some things remain steadfast.
Therein run my feelings for you.
I am you...you are me,
so simple...so complex
Yet our love shines through all obstacles unchanged.
Unchanged by the dust of time but growing as a seed beneath the soil.
I long for you, the one who holds my heart, my very soul
Knowing that our time is near.
You are that one - my sun, my love - now and forever.
That will never change.
Didn't see this earlier ~~ I've gotten used to your not being here.
Am stunned by this, and can only say ~~
♥
I had meant to send it a day earlier but wasn't able to access the computer with the final product.
Glad you like it.
