A Song for the Weary

This life is a wind that sweeps us into the next. And I will ride this torrent with you.

Because the hearts of men are ships at sea. The calm brings fleeting comfort and peace, but it is through the storm that conviction is proven: to be tossed asunder by the wind; to be cast into the deep by the torrent; or to have the courage to stay the course.

For you I stay the course.

My arms will be open, my hands grasp for yours until time gives way to eternity. My love buckles not beneath the weight. For this love requires no reciprocation.

Until the wind blows no more, my heart remains steadfast. Until the earth turns to dust, your rock I will be.

And when that day comes, when our knees bend before the Most High, you will witness a love that has no equal.

But the love I give you in this life shall not pale in comparison.
