Immutable As Time
In slumber , I watch you heave demurely
Through evening meek, those eyes
Older now yet graceful like pewter of moon :
And whitened, tenuous hair ruffles on,
As eyelids tweak like blinks
From lamps mirroring our formidable journey;
Through co-owned years prevailing
Each brittle rainfall and summer...
And we are still here, immutable as time.
For love is tender, never bereft
Granting interludes to allow you retreat
From long years, favored. How I gush
To reveal day’s sketch of joys bursting, now.
Yet dear, sleep tight… my ardor waits
Calmly: till you wake up as we brighten
Our remaining life - moments.
