One
love, one life, we are destined to be,
Soulmates forever throughout eternity
Something deep inside of me is shattered
Broken beyond repair.
Two lives were taken, like they didn’t matter
Leaving a family with only despair.
You come to take my hand, and lead me through the trappings of time, to a place where there is no time, only peace and wonderful sites. Showing me that the world I spend awake in is only an illusion.
I share my dreams, my night time with you, I am more awake than in the daylight hours.
Watching this world destroy itself, people ignorant of the trauma and distress they cause to our Mother Earth. Giving me frustration and restlessness at the inability I have to change things.
Yet, as I turn to face you, warmth is in your touch and your face is aglow with love and peace. ‘Come’ you say…’Lets walk our hills, places where it is as it should be’. Together we move and the feel of the grass on my bare feet, the smell, oh, the smell of dampness, sweet smell of mother earth. The air is cold, but I feel no chill.
I have no need to tell you of my fears, my pain, the secrets I store, for fear of being misunderstood, you hear my thoughts – and smile – for you understand, you are my friend, lover, mentor, all in our time of the night.
.
Its not because of sadness that I weep
But for the pain within my soul.
For the loss of happiness, pleasure and peace
Anger and bitterness I fight to control.
The realisation that there’s no turning back
Just the emptiness of the future beyond.
Mouth always dry, head about to crack
Goodbye to the dreams made together…….all gone!!
You go back to your home of Winter,
To your home of Autumn, of Spring and Summer;
You go back to your lasting home,
To your eternal bed, to your sound sleeping.
There wait, until I join you my beloved.
