This is for that Someone…

A Little Song

When you, my Dear, are away, away,
How wearily goes the creeping day.
A year drags after morning, and night
Starts another year of candle light.
O Pausing Sun and Lingering Moon!
Grant me, I beg of you, this boon.

Whirl round the earth as never sun
Has his diurnal journey run.
And, Moon, slip past the ladders of air
In a single flash, while your streaming hair
Catches the stars and pulls them down
To shine on some slumbering Chinese town.
O Kindly Sun! Understanding Moon!
Bring evening to crowd the footsteps of noon.

But when that long awaited day
Hangs ripe in the heavens, your voyaging stay.
Be morning, O Sun! with the lark in song,
Be afternoon for ages long.
And, Moon, let you and your lesser lights
Watch over a century of nights.
-Amy Lowell

Fear, It’s fading

Fear, I leave you;

I leave YOU!

You’re fading fast

Behind me,

Not following

Not blinding my

Eyes to the future,

To hope,

Not giving me

Room to worry

And mope,

Fear, you are

No more

In me.

Courage,

Hope,

And Peace,

These three I have,

These three I say

Will have my whole heart

No room for You (fear)

To stay.
