Eloquent Dream

Eloquent Dream
Form: Cross Sonnet 2

Thy picture in mute, lifeless art
Reflects my soul in its despair
Yet love declares we’ll never part
I whisper thy name like a prayer

Not with laughter and not with tears
But with love’s air to where thou waits
That eloquent dream holds no fears
As time and distance dissipates

Thine hand my guide through all of time
These times alone I feel it most
In the language of love and rhyme
Just like waves rolling on the coast

I feel thy presence over me
Too real to be a memory
