When
This night
Comes to an end
Just because I’m not here
Know I am eternally
Close to you now
I’m always
Near
If
You long
Look just inside
I’m within your heart
Breathing my love
Into your soul
As to never
Part
If when
you’re in doubt
Of the chosen path
Needing a change of way
I will pave a new road
That leads to light
Somber left
Astray
My
Hand’s in yours
You feel not my skin but
It’s each moment in gentle grasp
As when you were young
And Days were long
‘n Life was here
To last
If
Forever is
The moon and the sun
Horizon where dreams come true
With life colors to dance on
Backdrop splashed sky
There I’ll each day
See you
Inspired by my friend Peter Notehelfer and his beautiful style of Poetry, I thought I would give this a shot. Hats off to you, Peter…may my next attempt be closer to the flowing and precise works you are so gifted in writing.
