A Moment In Eternity 3 Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize, after W. E. G. Louw)

Life and destiny, our love and sorrow,
all of humanity was caught
in the moment that I knew about your love,
as if everything do depend on you and me

where in each others arms we lay among the trees,
in the bliss that goes into eternity,
I told you about the depth of my love,
as if that act does cover the darkness,
as if everything in a moment in the two of us comes together,
the green grass, the trees and the cobalt-sky,
you and I with each other astonished,
while in passion we did hold each other
and slowly nature brought us back to reality,
while in the eucalyptus trees doves sang their love-songs.
