A chapter in the book The Heart of Poetry

The Light that Dims

by Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens

The light that dims
in lovers eyes
where once the ardent
flame did glow
Is naught that love
has left the heart
but mellowed sweet
to comfort soul

It once shined bright
with youth's delight
it beamed with smile
to fuel the night
lover's embrace
could not be quelled
nor spirits dampen
this magical spell

The light that dims
in lovers eyes
where once the ardent
flame did glow
now toils of years
taps energies store
yet inner joy
reigns ever more

Be saddened not
embrace thy age
even roses vibrant
color fades
The light that dims
perpetually will shine
Pressed between
Love's pages of time
