Gods Love

When will my love for you cease?

When will the rivers run dry?
Surely, the oceans
will empty
over the tops
of all the waterfalls,
to vanish
into the depths
of the earth!
Surely the lakes will become clouds to cover the whole earth.
Surely
the mountain snow will melt to wash away the sands of all the beaches
filling
every
crack and crevice.
Surely,
the song of the birds
will
die away
and
the sound
of the wolf-chorus
will cease.
The roar of hoof beats
will
shake the earth
no more,
and all that is
green and gay and colorful
will be seen no more
for the sun
will e!tinguish itself
and the stars
will become as black
as the sky around them.
"y love for you could never die!
"y care is unending,
and # change not. $ush now,
my little child,
and understand the dimensions
of eternity.
