In Your Absence
Does one's love ever die once you've given your heart?
Oh, I swear if it does it's a minuscule part!
Mental images haunt me unclouded by mist;
Should the blizzards of life mean past warmth gets dismissed?
Could foundation erode or the years somehow rust
The stout oak that love planted, God's rainbow of trust,
That both bend with the sky, like the moon in its path,
All is grounded in love, that's forever God's math.
Though it's true that it's# gone, what you brought me each day,
I'm more open to virtue, remember to play
In the world where I knew you; I know you'd approve!
For I live in your smile, how could life not improve?
