love's mission

escape from pain upon this earth is impossible

today i saw you worn from 60 sun cycle revolutions of earth
you building, assisting, nurturing, caring, praying, suffering
worn skin, weary bones weakened, wearing flaccid muscles, drooping
sustaining arthritic spasms, you valiantly, silently press to the course
your mission undeterred by pains of this life
of spinal columns’ surgical implant, total knee replacement
you trek nonetheless, in the courses of  your home and streets
exhausting, fulfilling yourself to me, ours and them
your mission, undeterred by pains of life
your tears silent fall, steadily, indiscreetly flowing since the dawn
your birth predestined for sorrows’ cries, vialed and preserved
for promises be kept, their count and recompense 
for you, their sum’s total worth, eternal embrace
soul restored, repaired, jeweled glories’ essence cradled
in the bosom of heaven’s womb everlasting rest, 
scripted in his books, recorded therein by he who watches, 
who knows the stars he made by name and yours no less,
he comes into into his chambers and whispers,
“wait my love, ’til the tar black night falls, 
my arms will sustain you, ’til it be over past
until your mission of these pains of life be past”
you cried unseen at times, openly spied by 
your closest soul’s companion - me who tries
who sees and keeps his silence for times opportune
to show more love’s tenderness of heart, penance of sins
toward you put on, in your pain of life undeterred
i stand awe stricken and resolve to love you now
where others failed, were skilled to inflict pain on you
delighted in their schemes to deter your life by pain
before the end, it it is for me to love you then, 
my mission in this life shall be to lessen your pains
it would be too late to honor you tomorrow
not to soon to warm the cold parts of my heart 
to shun the casting of yours aside, 
it is now, while you are alive that i
vow and bow, confirm-affirm 
that you are more valuable to me 
than all the atoms of my physical sum combined
and i will uphold our love
until our mission of these pains of life be past
