I love hte love eternal in this. The acceptance of all things that comes with that enduring love across time. The largest blemish is accepted as yet another texture to be appreciated.
Bravo, you're really good at this, and I may be late to the party, but I always play catch up and am happy I did! Blogging takes the ho-hum out of especially rainy days.
Oh, this is lovely. It has a quality to it that transcends the confines of time.

To live is like to love - all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it. Samuel Butler
In this valley of springs
Touching
You kiss the salt
From my brow
Things will be okay
The aches and pains
Sap our strength
But doesn't shake our trust
In the length of the land
In the breadth of our love
We heal the stain
On the lands
Calling no fault
But that of time

We heal the stain
On the lands
Calling no fault
But that of time
When two people are determined.. nothing can stop them from succeeding not even time! :D Beautifully executed :D
Lots of love,
