Outside Every Word Echo (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Daleen on her birthday)

You run quickly into my arms,
you are astonished with all of life
when wonderful things do start everywhere,
when I push flowers into your hands.
Our feelings are in accord
and here you are back in my arms again.
Outside every word echo and echo
and the twilight is somewhat bright.
The sun is setting and you look around us,
in your dreams and thoughts everything is well known,
our relationship is build on steady ground,
God is of it the only foundation,
I have faith and a lot of hope
and before us and around us life lies open.
