away for the week

a small sale made on eBay

I'm not there.

Now in my later years I had no thought to see

awakening of Nature's strongest power,

how is it then that I have come to be

in depths of love for such a gentle flower?

And though I know that this be summer’s honey breath

before the winters of infirmity and age,

what can I do but bless devoted Death,

for every day she stays her hand another page

is writ upon sweet Branwen's book of deeds.

This jewel in my life I will now cherish

for all the inspiration it might feed

for lacking love is what it means to perish.

 Be not afraid to dance within the light

 and be assured that love be thine by right.
