THIS WORLD AND THE SWEET HEREAFTER

it has taken me so long to find you

Before, there was only darkness
And then... a light shines upon me
Her eyes
Her smile
Her voice that calls my name
A flame is reignited within my soul
It burns so intensely, it will never be extinguished again
Oh, my heart
Rejoice...
This love, is everlasting

Look up on me now
Look at what you have made
You found me lost in madness
And guided me out of this dark place
Within you Within me we are one together
Why should I be afraid to die?
I belong to you now
For all of my days remaining
In this world and the sweet hereafter...

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

This is a beautifully tender poem KC. Well-written with brilliant lines -“Within you Within me we are one together”- yes. It is a celebration of true,
, life-changing and transcendent love. “I belong to you..For all of my days remaining”. I am so happy for you my friend. Absolutely inspiring poem.
