“Timeless”
Painting by Brigit Byron Coons
From fineartamerica.com
some love is timeless
sits beside you
when all the world’s
gone to the dance
some love is timeless
prays in your stead
when the pain
consumes faith
some love is timeless
holds your hand
when the nights
convey terror
some love is timeless
acts selflessly
tending your frailties
minding your pride
some love is timeless
uproots itself
more than content
to follow your dreams
this love is timeless
undeserved
it outlives
this faltering life
