The Promise

Missing image

remember those bygone days
when forbidden winds blew harsh
against the calling of our hearts?


     yet, love endured through each storm
     carving always into now and forever,
     sculpting devotion from soul to soul,

standing solid on true love's pedestal
taking on the test of time,
you were my completion of joy's masterpiece,


     sands slip swiftly now, from life's hourglass
     but our love remains undying,
     faith leads my weary steps along the golden path,

     where I shall wait for you
     reuniting forever's promise
                                                    in paradise.

      I think this was one of my fav prompts to write on. I couldn't help feeling sad in a way...with the look in their eyes.
