Penumbral Love

Image

 
In dark times when light has fled our world
And shadows gather deep within the heart,
Your love remains, a candle's gentle swirl
Chasing gloom and playing its soothing part.

Though far must roam this transient frame of mine
And destiny denies our arms' embrace,
Within your soul this wandering soul entwines -
There in the spirit we find meeting place.

No pens or miles can our feelings sever;
As thoughts take wing across the night's expanse
They carry on each beat your name forever,
Keeping love's flame a glow, not fal'ring glance.

So when all earthly comforts fade and die,
This love lit from within shall still defy the darkening sky.
