Time Cannot Erode

Let me paint the words I love you

in the dew upon your sill

Let me whisper like the wind to

warm you from the winter's chill

*

Let me hold you through your struggles

envelope you here in my arms

Fitting the pieces of your puzzle

flashing above, like shooting-stars

*

Until time deteriorates this shell

and I erode, withering like leaves

May I descend in bright pastels

showering my love from sleeping trees

*

To once again paint you a picture

of all the ways that I've loved you

Dancing on the wind together

until once more I am with you

*
