When

when will i not love you 
shall there be a distant flame 
flickering beyond the warm air
of an indian summer's breeze
 
when will i not love you 
will the sun rest on top
of giant umbrella's dancing
heavenly about sparkling shores

when will i not love you 
shall the tides rise over broken shells
sending the tiny crabs backwards
inside hollow cubbie holes

when will i not love you 
will the large vessels set sail
upon the voss banks of marigolds
ancient goodbyes as new worlds 

gleams about sullen memories 
will heaven and earth meet as one
while the brass trumpets sound
when will i not love you when
