  Wonderful thoughts
  
  Have tried to re write your poem in my style
  
  In restless contemplation, I resist the call of sleep,
  For in the passing hours, I dread what time may reap.
  Though weariness consumes me, and day gives way to night,
  I linger in the present, holding onto love so tight.
  
  My greatest apprehension, that slumber steals me away,
  While unseen nocturnal creatures in the darkness play.
  I persevere in wakefulness, a day or even more,
  Observing your serene repose, a love I can't ignore.
  
  In taking leaps toward a love profound and ever deep,
  I marvel at your tranquil rest, my heart forever keep.
  All I long for is your presence, never to depart,
  The thought of losing you, would tear my fragile heart.
  
  Embraced by sorrow, I would grieve, unable to withstand,
  The loss of you, my dearest love, as time runs through like sand.
  Yet, as I ponder on the brink of night's uncertain shore,
  I cherish every fleeting breath, and love you evermore. more »
