The road now leads onward
As far as can be
Winding lanes
And hedgerows in threes
By purple mountains
And round every bend
All roads lead to you
There is no journey's end.
Here is my heart and I give it to you
Take me with you across this land
These are my dreams, so simple and few
Dreams we hold in the palm of our hands
Deep in the winter
Amidst falling snow
High in the air
Where the bells they all toll
And now all around me
I feel you still here
Such is the journey
No mystery to fear.
Here is my heart and I give it to you
Take me with you across this land
These are my dreams, so simple and few
Dreams we hold in the palm of our hands
The road now leads onward
And I know not where
I feel in my heart
That you will be there
Whenever a storm comes
Whatever our fears
The journey goes on
As your love ever nears
[Beloved] Seven Years...and My Love
Day by day, beloved, what storms may come...
Like mercury, like the crucified,
My love escapes compassion
And is thirsty.
Like the light at sunset,
My love carries with it the hours of the day
And hides them in the chasms of the ocean.
Like one homeless,
My love is without shelter
And the tempest buffets and assails it from all directions.
Like the Orient,
What is most beautiful about my love is the past;
And like the Orient, it knows that there will be a Resurrection.
Fresh, washed in the stream,
And carrying with it the glory of the sunrise.
What is most beautiful about my love is its promise of days to come.
-- May Rihani

She has been seriously ill, and has been through debilitating treatment for it. On top of that, she has been visited with tragedy in her life. I have some hope for the future, but right now I do not know what is happening. The poems are a statement that I will be there for her.
Since you're not her, just take the poems for what they are. If you enjoy them, good. There are some very good ones, thoug
