UNTIL THEN

LIKE THE FOCUSED LENS 
OF A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER,
MY EYES WERE STILLED 
UPON YOUR SMILE.

IN THAT MOMENT OF TIME,
THE HEAVENS WERE OPENED,
AND I SAW GOD’S 
MOST PERFECT CREATION,
IN YOU.

IT WAS AS THOUGH 
ALL THE WORLDS BEAUTY 
WERE CAPTURED AND PLACED
IN YOUR TRANSPARENT 
BROWN EYES.

I WAS LOST FOR WORDS,
MY HEART RACED 
WITHIN THE TREMBLING WALLS 
OF MY OVERJOYED CHEST,
AND I KNEW… 
I HAD FOUND LOVE.

AND UNTIL THE SUN’S FIRE, DIES..
AND THE RAIN FORGET TO CRY…

WHEN THE MOUNTAINS KNEEL 
IN PRAYER,
AND THERE ARE NO LONGER 
NIGHT, OR DAY…

UNTIL THEN,
MY LOVE FOR YOU
WILL NEVER FADE AWAY.

WILFORD BARKER.
