Poem
If I had the time, I’d sit on the front porch… With you, Gossiping about the fireflies this June, Whispering in colors, brilliant Gasps of forever, painted on the midnight… Moon, glowing through the sky, Escorted by the escaping stars, graceful, Flickering, reflecting over the calm, Tears falling like the dew, Dreaming… Yes, we would dream on… If I only had the time, I’d kiss away the darkest duties, Let mysteries echo their promises, Reach beyond the yesterdays, Into the colors of tomorrow, the fading Shadows blending away every doubt, Feeling like the beautiful that captures the clouds, Erases the night and hesitates at dawn, Reassuring the promises of a past, Where hope just knows… it knows that there is grace, Beyond what the spirit can face… Grace… If I only had the time, I’d silence the shadows with all their ethereal Thoughts, the murky ghosts From the past, who leave a glowing grief, Bidding the memories, in silhouettes, tones Collecting on thoughts, eternal Promises, aware that yesterday is barely gone, Still, the faded walls hear the songs, Clinging to the heart, vibrating Telling of a moment when fate was never wrong, When the moment was not gone, When I had so much time… If I only had the time, I’d sit with you for a little while. We’d talk about the past, all that didn’t last, The moments buried and the stones uncovered, In countless colors… Auburn, scarlet, gold… like an autumn sun, Reassuring and soothing away the doubt, Remember that tomorrow is not gone, The sound of summer sings on… If I only had one extra day, I’d say all the things I need to say… I’d tell you that my love is strong, That this life is best grown by light, Like the trees who are so old and strong, The life that grows from the Son… Is a life that knows what it means to love, A life that knows what it means to hope, A life that knows what it means to show… Love that is forever alive, forever striving… To become more like the One who rose, So that we, His shadows, could find the hope, The hope so strong, the hope that promises… Someday, we’ll live in heaven with Him, The love, the light, the Son… Who never fades and never wilts away. With Him, I can surely pray… For the time to finally say… I love you today and every day!
