Ethereal Love

Wherever I go,
It remains so. . .
    At my side
    You walk,
    In my mind
    We talk.

Mental words are exchanged
And your presence is felt—
This fact has not changed
As part of my self melts.

Periodically, flowing tears
Eclipse the countless years;
Recalling, with the knowledge
That in another time,
The love we together pledged
Was yours and mine.

A love of the sky
Blest by the gods
On mountains high;
Beyond all odds
And most men’s eye.

Constant reminders of her
Flood my dreams at night
To sing of love that will endure
In the ethereal light.
