... AND SO IT GOES, MY LOVE

You!

the same dark eyed girl from a winters night
when arc'd bluelight...... fell within soft snow
all around, and surrounding you
...... a girl of eyes belonging...... darkly
to my memory...... of darkness.

Girl of smiling eyes, bright eyes...
belonging to my dreams
......forgotten.

Girl of love
that is forever......!
I laughed... not believing
at all! Laughed
and

......was wrong!
very damn wrong to think
none could love as you have......... and you
always unafraid...... brave girl!

Daring my eyes and my heart
to live another day
within .........the loving
and all warm possibilities.

Loving unto death...... in a way
so much better than war and guns and......
money.

My country has forgotten me.
My flag has been lowered.
I am moving into the dark time of silence.
I turn slowly toward the heaviness
upon my heart
...... and see you,
always you,
standing there before me!

Time is running out my love.
You are not.
