Who Knows Where the Time Goes

The stars may wink their last goodbyes, 
the sun may disappear, 
the moon may shrink and come to naught 
and I will shed a tear. 

The universe may turn to dust 
all flora, fauna waste away, 
we may spend our time in darkness 
hoping for a brand new day. 

Will you still be here to comfort me 
to fill my eyes with pride, 
and swell my heart with tenderness, 
my love, my blushing bride?

You want to go through that again Keith? I know the feeling too but better to dream about it and leave reality alone. Wonderful rhyme and adoration in this. Love, Elizabeth

Of course your bride will still be there with you through it all my friend, as mine will stay with me! Your write you have written here is wonderful, a perfect example of a brilliant poem, written with such perfect rhythm and rhyme! Your poem flowed with ease, I was able to fly by it with naught an unwanted break in flow! And what you wrote about, surely a wondrous and meaningful subject, time lends it brushed hand! What a delightful and incredible piece, Great Work!!
