Everlasting - Sonnet 60

She is the sunrise, true enlightenment

When past and future merge within her eyes

And yours, if graced a vision of a time,

Held in her palms as ever Heaven sent;

You are tried fairly, sin and virtue stored

Away to be revealed in her embrace

And with impeded wisdom in her face,

All at once a shield and a sharpened sword,

If yet she walks away unbothered still

Across the sweeping meadow of your heart

Spurring you onward, upward, in a start

Of wonder, more than wonder ever will;

For when you cross her everlasting plain,

Then you may know her love has come again.
