All I am is yours, as you are
mine.
Perhaps the years erode the
boundary line;
Perhaps the fortune fades into
the feeling.
Yet we are will, though often not
quite willing,
As this year's choice becomes the
next year's wine.
Nor without love could we endure
the time
Needed to bestow so great a
blessing.
In choosing love, unburdening
desire,
Viewing passion as a gift to
give,
Embracing as we long to be
embraced,
Remaining where we would someone
remain:
So do we tend both equally the
fire
As each becomes the one one needs
to live,
Replacing what can never be
replaced,
Yearning for what comes again,
again.
