Eventide Elegy

There are far better things ahead than anything we can leave behind. C.S.Lewis

PAD challenge day 16: write an elegy

Love cups joy but cannot clench

Blessing-beauty; Moments wrench

Now to Then and When to Now

As our love-cups overflow

Darling, once upon a climb

We were ignorant of Time

How this thoroughfare of clocks

Gathers moments behind locks

…how love cups life’s moment-gong

Fading now in vesper-song

Pitter-patter… passion, prayer

Spills and fills our here-to-there

Darling, let’s dance soft and slow

Swift, how swift these Time-gems flow

Phantom eighth-notes gilded glide

Echoing on eventide

Hold me dear, too soon dusk-dirge

Overtakes dawn’s virgin splurge

Cup-‘o-love songs gently ride  

Breezes on the eventide
