Dearly Belovéd (poem)
Dearly belovéd an etching on tree
A soft souvenir of what used to be
A couple in love their moment in bliss
Forever in time their heartbeats to see
-
Was it a teardrop or was it a kiss
That inscribed for all a message as this
Maybe its meaning is drifting in night
A song in the wind the moon wouldn’t miss
-
Whatever its birth it whatever its light
Alive is its flame to make dreams ignite
To feel what it means through love we have bred
And there in our soul awaken its might
-
Dearly belovéd now etched in our head
Our reason its toy what truth does it shed
What is its secret we can’t turn away
Why are we here held by its tender thread
-
Dearly belovéd what does it convey
Dearly belovéd that moves us this way
Dearly belovéd runs loose in our mind
Dearly belovéd it now is this day
-
And then in that pause in love oh so kind
When streams of passion are mists set behind
Dearly belovéd was our memory
That some tomorrow true lovers will find
