Down River

Sweet dreams of tender mind
well they slumbered in nests imagined
wished then started
grown and sewn and blessed and home
these souls too were us

upon sunrise tears revealed kissed
molten swirling made fast
on that rock where love's milk was offered
autumnal hints down river, yet
known by children old souls

crystal skies amber almonds
haunting dreams desired given
dreams not shaken from eyes velvet
while we basked in sunsets and made our promise
through seasons now we learn

why nothing known can be
why trust is all that is
and time is all that was
and patience will we hope continue
delivering life to our souls mated

may our love wake ever more
down river.
