all I know….

**

I cannot be sure

If the sun will rise upon the morrow

Or if it will set this evening 

I have not a clue 

If the winds blow icy from the north

Or steamy from the south

I am not certain 

If the ocean tides ebb to a deeper there

Or if they flow to here

Yet, there are things 

I know without any hesitation 

They each speak to me of you, 

How gently my smile returns

Since you’ve been long away,

Your loving gaze catches my eye

And sets my heart to racing

There are many things

I am not meant to know

I no longer seek to understand…

The waves bestowing kisses

The winds of Zanzibar, playing in the sand

The one and only brilliant morning star

Dancing into dawn…

I do not ask it how or why

Each of these must and shall go on,

In their way, to which I am not privy

Now I lay me down to rest

In all I know 

To be so very sure

Of you, my love

For now and evermore…
