Though my love's Gone

Though my lover's gone

When these frames are but dust or ash in the wind,
Our love will keep working right to the end.

Our love was everything,
An unseen force
Holding our universe together.

In our love we were stronger than the tide
Fear had no hold with you by my side
You were always there:
To pick me up
To dust me off
To give me courage
To make me feel alive

Our love was a primal source:
Older than mountains,
More durable than rocks,
More inviting than
The fragile smile of a kiss.

Now my loss has broken me and my dreams are all unraveled.
In the night season the quiet crushes me.
I need to hear your voice and anchor in your warm embrace.
I could rage against the night but darkness stares back unblinkingly
with dead eyes just out of reach.

A shadow moves like a shade in the corner.
A deeper darkness from tomorrow.
Or just a wispy cloud moving across
the moon's pale fading light.

Love compels me to carry on
Soon it will be dawn
Yes I will carry on
For you my love
For the future
