Eternal Night
A Poem by Debra Stevens Edwards (Debby)
This was inspired by a poem read at w/c

Captured in a gentle hand
Tortured soul of this one man.
Asking but a place to rest
Puts gentle beauty to the test.


Will beauty give this man a place?
As she looks upon his weary face.
Will she aspire and let him in?
To make his heart believe again.

That love can be a gentle flame.
With warmth to heal souls the same.
She might find her hearts desire
Entwine to join his raging fire.

Together will their spirits soar?
In perfect union to heavens door.
Lifted upon wings they will fly.
Until the time has come to die.

They both awake from gentle sleep.
From under the earth buried deep.
To once again let spirits soar in flight.
To share again in an eternal night.

This is lovely, although life has passed love comes together in the
afterlife, very moving and emotional, and the questions asked are so
tender!

They both awake from gentle sleep.
From under the earth buried deep.
To once again let spirits soar in flight.
To share again in an eternal night.

Such lovely imagary Debby, I always love the smooth flow of your
work and the love that comes through.

The title really captures this poem because it reads as if it were about something mythic and beyond our normal scope of reality. But then it brings up back to earth because you are dealing with two people in a relationship with all the questions and hopes that go along with that.

Some beautiful imagry too.

take care :)

Brilliant, expressive piece here! This was like taking a ride out on ethereal plains of the subconscious. I love pieces about kindred spirits and this one really caught my eyes! :)
