Timmy's Journal - 40. Legend - a Rubaiyat
Legend
The sands of time run on—never-ending,
rules of the universe are unbending,
time marches on with no thought or pity,
sinking as we walk, finally drowning.
From earth we gaze—to deaf stars send our plea:
down on bended knee we beg to be free.
Will angels look down on us with blessings?
Humans are awash in heaven's mercy.
The gods long gone, no longer listening
And we believe on, like imprinted goslings
In silence, their voices still speak loudly,
and our love, and souls fly, on wide spread wings.
For how long will we stumble on blindly,
when the answers are held internally?
We fear what we'd find if we look inward;
open blind eyes, seeking and see beauty.
That I love you, I know I have averred,
you fought, heart not wanting to be captured,
but beauty shone from you like diamonds;
the universe’s light through you, fractured.
Overjoyed, I wrap you in bright garlands
I love you and wish us to be husbands
We exchange sweet love tokens solemnly
Heaven spoke; our love is stuff of legends.
