OF LOSS AND REUNION
[I SAID ID LIVE BOTH OUR LIVES...EASIER TO MAKE THAT PROMISE]
and when you held on to my hand as those last moments of your life slipped by.....
and as i stared into your ocean deep eyes for the last time before those oceans dried up forever......
and as every moment ever spent around you began to flood my vision...
and as night and day merged into one.....
and as the sun and the moon coalesced into one entity.....
as the sky bent its mighty head to bow down to the ground .....
and as the ground rose up to meet the sky as it free fell into it......
and as winter became spring and spring dissolved into the summerly autumn .....
as time and space lost all meaning......
and as fireworks exploded and church bells began to ring......
and as ice melted and as water froze up......
as all labyrinths unrevealed and all mysteries unveiled....
as poets lost all words and paintings lost all color.......
as nightingales lost all voice and owls lost night vision......
as philosophers lost all thought and as historians forgot their own past......
as the last grain fell out of my grasp, as it ran to meet the boundless desserts sand.....
as poems lost romance and songs lost all melody......
and as the skies welled up and let loose their tears........
i held on tighter and even tighter......
and before you went away to where you could hear none........
i promised id live both of our lives as one........
i said id live both our lives.....easier to make that promise....
and now as a flake of snow comes to rest....
and as it lands a kiss upon my cheek.....
a secret message just for me....
i take you in my hands and on your lips....
my flake of snow, it plants its secret kiss.....
and when you held on to my hand as those last moments of your life slipped by.....
