For Every Lifetime

Oh love, my love,

delight of my soul -

ever unperterbed by human pride

knowing I will stand

between yourself

and danger

though you,

by far,

are the great one

and I,

I am only mortal

a flaming leaf

blown about
on boisterous winds

as always

oh love,

my love,

delight of my soul -

I am,
for every lifetime,
yours.
