As my love will outlast this cup of clay
celestial bound, yet not too far away
return it to the purely surging stream
from this course flows all lovers' hopes and dreams.
Immerse your chalice in its cleansing flow
love lives in time beyond the hour we know as now.

This poem beautifully explores the timeless and eternal nature of love. The imagery of the 'cup of clay ' and 'celestial bound' suggests a love that is grounded in the earthly realm but reaches for something beyond something infinite. you have written well.
Beautiful… Love is eternal.
Magnificent!!! Love your line, "From this course flows all lovers' hopes and dreams."
Oh this is exquisite, Natalie! Such a beautiful anchoring image. Really lovely work!
From the course flows all lovers hopes and dreams. Very emotional. Good luck in the challenge!
I love the idea of timelessness that this evokes. Beautifully written.
