Martha's Poem

I will love you like tomorrow
Like the days that come to me
Like the warmth of summer sunshine
Like a wind that blows me free

To hear the song of nightingales
Beneath a crescent moon
To share each simple pleasure
On a rainy afternoon

In the silence of a morning
Deep within a restless sea
Walking through the darkness
And with everything in me

For every precious moment
That lives in effigy
Love will grow within my soul
To reach eternity

And when we gather moonbeams
After twilight steals the hours
Sleep with me through endless days
Among a sea of midnight flowers
