Love lingers last on your lips each night
And is present when first you wake
A kindler of hope and a bringer of light
You hold me so tight I should break
Red hues linger in evening skies
And announce the coming of dark
A seeker of hearts and a keeper of lies
You hold me as soft as the lark
I lie down beside you, when darkness comes
And kiss your face, so sweet
'Til morning we lie and await the Sun
Alas, we hope again to meet
Yet, every night, I can't help but feel
The grip of Mortality
Her jokes and jibes all feel real
And I fall to Latancy
Deep dreams surround me, as I sleep in peace
And catch glimpses of Eternity
As I await my soul's final release
That will free me, most assuredly
I feel as if my eyes know all
They have seen everything that is
They pierce the dark and shading pall
But, something they seem to miss
Although it feels so good to be
In silent slumber subsisting
From the bowls of my soul I know I see
What appears to be my ending
But, I have merely seen the height
Closest to heaven's stance:
Love with all its sacred rite
Has power to entrance
