Love Remains

Love Remains

 

The air moves,

All’s quiet.

A deep breath swoons.

 

Greedy unto life,

Flowing from here.

Fighting against demise.

 

Panting for air

As the heart longs for love,

It’s ever there.

 

Time knows not when

The end nears,

When the earth stops its spin.

 

So does the heart stop

To find its forever,

Where there’s no clock.

 

Age to age…

To eternity’s everlasting.

More than a story’s page.

 

Through the pain

Of suffering loss,

Love remains.

The price you pay for love is grief. Death doesn't stop the loving. If anything it grows stronger. Final stanza a poem itself.

The last verse makes the poem. Despite all pain, love persists.
