Wake Our Dawns As True Beautiful Flightless Angels

Wake Our Dawns As True Beautiful Flightless Angels

Sweet small offerings I give to you
Till your hands say a fine hello
The months wear thinly our hungers
I can almost hear your voice
Standing in the valley of abstinence
Nights peering into blasting moonlight
Out of my deep loving heart
Flows great winds of sheer desire
I pause, living for your breath
You that make this dear world spin
With kisses born to forever gift
Soon you may live for each other's breath
We wake our dawns as true beautiful flightless angels
Your tender heart fluttering for more
Of our nights on the lush green veranda
Our hugs that beg don't ever let go
You my darling, are the cool winds of love
And I the brave sentry of our journeys
I bring you little things anew
Until your tiny fingers learn to hold
Nothing can our true love defeat
For its truth that is Heavenly sent
And we are together deeply united
Our love, the mountain that shall never fall.

Robert J. Lindley, Verse
May 13th, 1972

Note: May 14th,1972
""To you darling I swear my love and everything.""

Tom Woody Date: 9/21/2023 2:51:00 PM Ahhh, young love. So naive, so fresh, so exciting. Rarely lasts though, as we both know, right? Well done Login to Reply Robert Lindley Date: 9/21/2023 3:39:00 PM Thank you, my friend. Yes everything was new back then. I was wild and very young and tried so many new things. Girls were one of those things. Here I am 51 years later and still I cannot figure out the female mind. God bless you.

This is one of the few that survived. God bless you. Robert Lindley Date: 9/21/2023 9:12:00 AM Well, thank you my good friend. I was but a very young lad at the time of writing this one.
