In The Longing (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize, after Elisabeth Eybers)

In longing to give the best that we have and are
we go with faith, hope and great trust,
on impulses we follow instinctively without seeing
when God do make stronger bond that are unbreakable
on the new or old ways
and so our intimate wonderful relationships do stay intact,
where like Adam and Eve we do love and find each other in age-old ways
or do return into the past,
where we do constantly find God in our struggling,
when He makes our days silent and holy
and with Him we start each day anew
when He brings us to what we do long for,
where all things between us become wonderful,
where everything that we are and do constantly draws us close.
