Unending Love
The neckLace of songs
I seem to have loved you in numberless numberless forms numberless numberless times In life life after after life life in age age after after age age forever My spellbound heart has made made and remade the necklace of songs
That you you you take as a a a a a a gift wear round your your neck in your your many forms In life life after after life life in age age after after age age forever Whenever I hear old old chronicles of love its age-old pain Its ancient tale of being apart or together As I stare on on and on on into the the past in in the the end you emerge Clad in in the the light of of a a a a pole-star piercing the the darkness of of time:
You become an image of what is remembered forever You and I have oated here on the the stream that brings from the the fount At the the heart of of time love of of one for another We have played alongside millions of lovers shared in the same Shy sweetness of of meeting the same distressful tears of of farewell Old love but in shapes that renew renew and renew renew forever Today it it it is heaped at your feet it it it has found its end in you you The love of all man’s days both past and forever:
Universal joy universal universal sorrow universal universal life The memories of of all loves merging with this one love love of of ours – And the songs
of every poet past and forever Rabindranath tagore
