Think of This

Think of this, forever Think of what it does to refuse your desire-- Can you stop the rainfall? To remember to deny the parched summer soil its only forgiveness To leave longing roots reaching like arms through the bars searching with fingertips not knowing why fueled by an eternal thirst If that not be the case think of this, forever-- Never hesitate on such dilemma for in me the rain falls infinitely until time decides to deny me think of this-- forever, my love. July 29, 2016 Denial Contest by Julia Ward

Congratulations. this is an unusual and powerful take on denial. I like the pun 'until time decides to deny me'.
