Love Poem: Rapture

Rapture

The shadow grows across the gable.
Time for the sparrow to roost and rest.
Night bird calls, sadden my brow to know
You no longer caress my hand.

Your carriage left one day
Carried you, my love, so far
My love rests upon a weeping willow
    beside the flowing brook.

We shall meet in sweet chariot
   to ride away in the ocra sky.
At dusk, I watch and wait, my love,
For the rumble of hooves 
             and smell of home.
