…and it touches me this day
Warned by a footfall
in the deepest of dreams
I hear a familiar voice
carried by a breath so sweet
like the aching pull
of a rippling tide
I hear you whispering
all the secrets of the universe
I drift even closer
into the depths of your eyes
this is an emptiness
where I can find myself, and you
for a single instant
my heart leaps
to see your face
I know you, somehow
alone in a room
fragrant with roses
I let my thoughts
pull you closer
you take my breath away
many paths
we have walked together
you are a presence that lingers
and transcends all
something about you
caresses my soul
there is an unspoken promise
and it touches me this day
it will never be the same
what else is there
apart from this moment?
and I will remember you
for eternity
