Let me dwell
with you;
my law was written
my attributes
are known.
My fate set
I shall transcend
for I have known
your love.
The desolation of my youth
I shall pass
for I love your name,
more then mine.
- Michaela Sefler

Salaam Alaikum,
Loved the way the words flow so nicely together. There is a beautiful message in the poem. Thanks for pointing this poet out.
I would not wish to go back to the desolation of my youth… way too confusing a time.
Amen to that dear Brother Mark :) I am happy now in the fullness of my dotage :)
