Beloved


When the curtains fall and the sun is down
The moon is gone out fishing, in the silver sea
The voices and whispers have long quenched the silence’s thirst
The night is dark,
and the only rhythm is the heart beat
I see you, in the silent darkness,
at the hour when the world holds still...
and the destination walks with me,
hands in hands, through the journey

I see you, in the mirrors,
and in the words I speak and hear
In the steps I walk,
and the path,
and the pattern of the evening clouds, at the junction of night and day
that bright spot from where heavens glance,
and open up a stream of gold,
showering through the clouds,
pouring in the droplets, the petals of silver and gold 

I see you, in the tree tops
and the wings of the eagle, flying free,
far from the shackles of  reality,
soaring up above,
embracing the air beneath its wings,
coloring the sky with streaks of freedom,
where no limits, no borders can halt its flight

I see you in joy
I see you in pain

I see you, in tears streaming down my cheeks
In the ache that holds me from breathing
I see you in pieces of shattered dreams
And the fire that leaves me writhing

I see you in my heart
when it fails to beat ….
And I see you
in the strength that it takes to live again.

If my heart was a giant red blanket
I'd wrap it tight, around you
I'd let you sleep, deep inside my chest

I'd shut my eyes close
I'd breathe my breath in you
and clean the fog on your window pane
I'd blow away the clouds of your thoughts
out of your mind
and like rose petals in the path of summer breeze
I'd let them fill my veins with their scent 


I'd put my arms around you
and gather the twigs, the sticks, the autumn leaves of your soul
and I'd make you a nest

I'd pick your dreams in my hands and curl my fingers around them
I'd keep them on my palm like lighting bugs
and let them twinkle through the night

If my heart was a giant red blanket
I'd wrap it tight, around you
I'd let you sleep, deep inside my chest
I'd never wake you up

I'd never let you go
