Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is love.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A love poem from a healthy lover to a sick one about how
love might prolong life:
Love is a wind that drives the will
Across the yielding
sand.
Although at last
the wave must break,
The ride, the ride
is grand.
Our love and need
and joy are such
That surely we will
go
As far, as far as
moon and tide
Can still the
undertow.
As far, as far as
wishes can
Wear rock and stone
away,
So love will take
us far across
The bar on which we
lay,
Far further up the
burning sand
Where love farewell
might say.
