A love that goes beyond
The bounds of today
Into the realms of tomorrow
That no arms can hold
A love that flies on wings
Above this world of woe
Wanting you near forever
Wanting you to hold me
With your tomorrow arms
That need to feel the air
As you move into the sun
Alone as you have come
Into my life
And out
Again
Freeing me from chains
That I couldn’t see
Shackles of the mind
From another time
A love that goes beyond
The people who look on
And count the ways
On fingers of doubt
Pointing back at themselves
Failures always numbered
On lines upon the brow
Pointing backward forever
A love that goes beyond
The last breath of life
On golden wings
That dance on ocean air
As it rises slowly under
A restful August sun
The fragrance of ripened summer
Exhaled for the stars
To gather in straw baskets
Barefoot along the edges
Of the lengthening night
As the herons watch
Earthly bounds of expectations
Dishes to be washed
As life of endless details
Blocking out the sun
The love of a poet
Cast alone on rocks again
To dry in the warm air
And dream of better times
To dream once more of you

About the Author
Glenda spent her early work in libraries – ten years in various positions, including cataloguing, which launched her on a favorite pastime of reading everything under the sun.
Her start as a poet surprised her. She took a poetry-writing course. Two hundred poems wrote themselves in a furious manner, in two weeks. This led to performing poetry in cafes and on the radio and about three hundred more poems.
