You've made my heart glad and you've made the world fairer: -
The shadows fall faster _ the sky is rarer,
And low in the west lies a golden haze . . .
When in the years I shall know less of gladness,
The thought of you, day, shall drive away sadness:
Oh, that I might keep you - the endless of days!
(Photo was taken in Moab, Utah.
spent last weekend there with my husband.
the days were beautiful as were the nights.)
Beautiful view from Moab, Margie, showing strata back a couple hundred million years (triassic?) and I remember hiking upward to where the present and future waited. Your poem expresses that very well. My compliments to you and him with whom you share this remarkable world, and the universal presence you credit.
ReplyDeleteGeo, isn't it just too beautiful?
DeleteI so love my times in Moab, we go every year and are going back in Sept as hubby will be riding in another bike event.
Thanks so much for the kind and most thoughtful words, they brought a smile :o)
