sonnet forty four

contemplated, surreal, excised
faith from the vine of your love
i offer you, yet again –
one brief, perpetual reality:

that if you hold my hand
you will never lose an ounce of
what you have given, you will
be embraced for all you are

before and since, that my heart
in its emerging brightness
will not thrive on hushed impatience

but will surrender everything it
knows about giving and keeping
and will harbor you a lifetime of light.
