From a Distance

Dusk fades again…must I entreat. As glimpses peer over the sea; Past borders of uncertainty. Where love's yearning becomes a feat . The minutes change to waves and rhyme Nights follow his prints…sand aflame; This trace I feel from whither came My destiny on edge of time: A breath; a sigh, I turn alone A whisper blows as moments freeze-- The distant shores, a fleeting breeze My prayers dull like hardened stone: One rowboat tugs along the quay Yet his image through mist unseen... Until he calls behind moon's sheen Our faith affirmed from heaven's ray. John Hamilton's Best Rhyming Poem April-July15,2018 Contest Written 6/19/2018 Repost 7/10/2018
