Dearest, it's time to lift our glass
without recourse to guile.
This moment too shall pass
in just a little while.
It's only right our love
should fit like a boot
match in a way even night
couldn't render moot.
Like leaves with no sense of barren
even as they lose their hold
and drop to the ground akin
to carpet Earth in a patina of gold,
They knew when they became
they'd in time have to go.
It's written in precise intent.
Now, falling to and fro
the end is seen just as Heaven-sent
and my love for you grows
Even as, in a calm as fallen snow
I'm coolly aware I soon must go.
So Dear, let's not think 'alas'
nor consider it unkind to meet
this time with class.
The love between us knows
it sings to us from here
even as it makes a start
toward somewhere else near.
(August 31,1992)

Love is right and love is might. Love remains in memory. Loss of love provokes thought and this is so sad. This poem is very deeply emotional and excellently penned. An excellent drafting is shared.10

This is an amazing poem by all means. The style and its mysticism remind me of Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat. Thanks and congrats, Sara.
