If Time...
If time be mine, let
me live until that which
exists and breathes deep,
within the confines of
mine mortal flesh, does,
if cut loose from, this,
the mortal coil, continue
its task in silence.
Still. silent. And yet,
beating. As if to remain
known, if only unto my
immortal soul, what life
time ends, in all its
profound glory and
sequential majesty.
That I might love thee with
all that is in me. And that
I might know thee, as such.
Let it be so, that the limpid pools,
that are thine own soul's
windows would, alas,weep for
me, so sweetly. The sojourn
to sorrow be so great and
without measure, as to count
wouldst be a curse, for a
score of generations yet
unborn.
Know thee, then, if time
be mine friend, what wanders
might I take, end in
peace and light. As I now
know the truth of thine
heart, and its precious
contents. Let it then
be heralded, though I be silenced,
before all men. That thou
wouldst love me, always.
Until eternity and eternities...end.
If time be mine...
