We ebb, flow, branch,
wear mountains to mere stones,
then to sand, then to dust.
On high the sun doth shone,
keeping time. Why so early fuss?.
May this be naught but lust?
Time slows with the moon,
The scarce clair de lune.
Our brief eternity:
These few platinum hours,
pearl of pearls; you and me,
both floating, floating,
on our quiet, shimmering sea.

hey this is a very beautifully written poem, the images r wonderful, especially the last stanza, there really is a sense of time, and how little we have to share an eternity of love. It reminds me of shakespeare and his fear that "time will come and take my love away"
