Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

Love That Once Was

At the dawn of our day I will invite
Rays of gold to shine on our strife
So we can witness as budding sunshine
Evaporates gently the mist of night.

As you arrive to welcome the daybreak
You don't have to call out my name,
For I hear the cry of breath you take
And the sound of grief your heart makes.

Hand in hand we will guide lost hope
Rescuing cheer from its hiding place
When glory of life falls within our scope
We'll embrace sparkle of a brand new day.

As we say goodbye to remnants of night
Your jade-green eyes will ignite a spark 
Inviting an embrace of doting pause
Welcoming passionately love that once was.
