A Birthing Frost

When finally those quickened hours come
that crept unseen behind tomorrow's door,
and waves of yesterdays upon me pour ~
few secrets left of just what might become.

In frost, the rush to harvest summer's yield,
when all of youth would break the vines of spring,
it seems an instant ~ now at last they cling,
impatient souls await in vineyard fields.

In warmth the sun of dawning will arise,
then weep upon your cheeks contented tears
and I will reach and sweep away your fears
when last I see the beauty of your eyes...

I'm speaking here of old age and how quickly it comes and then suddenly days are short, yet, your companion through life will give you peace and warmth in the end, either by being the last eyes you see on earth, or the first you see in Heaven...
