The Absence of Wavelength and Sight

48 Hour Media Prompt

55 Years To Eternity

I’ve laid my eyes on the wall
where gray shadows have staid
Until shadows contain all light,
about this bed where we’ve laid,
I’ve never noticed a lick of change.

Whether freshly painted in revision,
amber light playing on my baby blue,
withering branches dancing in silhouette,
the only dream realized came true —
arms-swept, gowned goddess, you.

In 55 years, nothing has wavered more
than warm light playing on shadows here.
I’ve carried great awe for a heart in love
with an aging home to shelter you dear.
Wall absent of shadows makes it clear —

in great emptiness, filling a solid, blue sea,
wall-displayed, you oar eternally across with me.
