Longing - Fill Up a Scroll Contest

I am the beauty of your face,
I am the cloud up in the sky.
Because of your love, I can trace
The joy of knowing your near by.

I am the wonder of your whole,
I am that wistful look that you begat.
Because I am deep within your soul
I am with you, where err your at.

I am your eyes that look and learn,
I am that thought that passes through,
I am the body, that you yearn
Wrapped up in this verse, so true.

I am the love that we hold dear,
The longing that gives us pain.
One day soon I will be here,
Ne'er to leave, life to start again.

It's so wonderful to read you again my friend! I really enjoyed reading this tremendous and enlightening poem here this evening! What a brilliant piece, I'll be coming back soon just that I have a lot of schoolwork to do right now that keeps me away but I'll be dropping by every now and then to say hi! You brightened my evening with this masterful poem, Great Work!!
