Hound of Heaven Hymns - falling into you

Poetry list

falling into you

I can feel you
close in the
great stillness
and silence of
our home a
prison of our
love with me
behind the bars
of time and
space our love
is a bridge over
this terrifying
chasm the void
of parting in
flesh and conversation
in the partnership
of each day’s burdens
and joys it is
more than an
imprint or
memory and all
the more painful
for heightening an
end unsolicited
though inevitable
what a difference it
makes in understanding
yet alone accepting
everything no dawn
or sunset meal or
music is ever the
same and asks the
question was it
ever

you are the difference
that makes me
you fill every
moment because
love is the void
and love alone
fills it
always together
the agony
the ecstasy
the everlasting

feeling
falling
headlong
into you
