LOVE, by                    
First Line: When I ponder love and glean every depth
Last Line: Till the call comes from the abode above.
Subject(s): Love; Passion


When I ponder love and glean every depth
The height of my desire is but to drink
And draw its sweetness and fragrance; then sink
Into wonder, overcome by its breadth,
Lulled into ecstasy by a mere breath.
Love stints not the riches that store the soul,
But brings a sweeter pain in place of old --
I pray to hold the vastness of its depth.
Oh! let me live and in a closer way
Learn to know the true loveliness of life;
The eternal pulse of this thing called love,
A passion that will last not for a day,
But through long, soul-stretched years of endless strife,
Till the call comes from the abode above.
