But a blink of an eye away she remains
I imagine holding her in my arms while caught in a heavenly rain
In her eyes and heart my love does rest
Without expectation she fuels the engine that lies within my chest
Traces of her soul will always remain interwoven in my making
I strongly believe at conception we may be born, but only in love are we made
In her presence I absolve myself the need to behave
My soul will once more play
In her laughter memories of moments become tangible dreams
Imagine a world where everything is as good as it seems
Or maybe just when blessed with the thoughts of one of nature’s queens
Runaway with me if only for a little while
Certainly you have remembered how it is I make you smile
Even if it’s been a while
Absence is merely a function of time and space
Emotion sets the tune of its own race
One of longing and lust
From stars to dust
Heaven and hell
Atop a mountain, until he fell
Tumbled into and beneath the ocean floor
Trapped in a place he knew not existed before
With your recent scent in his blood
Passionate refusal to be stuck in the mud
With a will, a way
And beauty, the need to tame
A world which beckons we cannot
Because with love, we must
And with hope, we trust
With a wish upon a twinkle in the eye of a shooting star
Let us be reminded the power of belief, and its ability to heal scars
Let us once more rediscover the part of ourselves in one another
The “I” that is you, and the “you” that is me
The gift of a single lifetime and the responsibility to be free
Responsible only to ourselves
To our romantic and wild dreams
To the possibility of a life better than even it seems
We are without limit, without definition
One day at a time, I pray for that which we’ve been missing.
