Time's Impenetrable Span Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

Time's impenetrable span is not wider than
the heart through its epochs known
o valentine stand still you may not

for clouds arise amd though
the pink sun flows
before the darkness sets in.

yet, it will rise again
and so will we. my heart and I,
beyond all these contingencies

there lies eternity's fair face
God's grace ahead
there where the seas are no more

and all is golden, stored
as if a dowery for thee,
all weddings gone
