Our love has slowly gone downhill, Heavy with unwanted needs, The dregs of days spent dutiful While hunger goes to sleep unfed. We love each other still, of course, But love is windless, changeless, still, Waiting for the potent word That comes from angels in the heart. Oh, say it, Love, and I will, too! And time will wait for us to dance, Touched by one another's grace To give what we so long have sought. There is a passion undismayed That lives throughout the long, gray days Of work and worry, knowing that The sun still shines upon this earth.
