Response
(response to Go From Me. I wrote this one.)
Go from me
Though I must go
From thee and hence
To none knows where
I offer up this pledge
That I shall never
Know another to be
As close as thee to me
And though you stay
I carry with
A token of a flame
That burneth yet soothes
In fond remembrance there
Tempest and ease await
At intervals one, then other
And back and forth
To tipsy feel
I cant my pledge that like a string
Of gold or gem
And wander roads
In search of time
And place that we may simply be.
Will God allow
Such a thing to be
Or in His love and judgment send
A fragrant forget to end the pine
That ever populates my heart?
That is for He to know
And me to roam
Awaiting His pleasure.
