i have looked for you, as i have looked for myself
and never finding either, but you call
softly to me over the blackest of night,
caressing my cheek with your song.
your silence frightens me, as the thought
never to hear your voice, like bells
ringing to the heavens, as god smiles;
never has there been such a sound.
if i shall never hear you again, the memory
will carry me over winds of time, scattering
the ashes of my existence to the place
where you will be forever, waiting for me.
we are nothing apart, but together we are one
we are the same, connected by the fragile cord
of love, brilliant with the fire of the sun
and deeper than the darkness of the heavens.
i cannot fathom the power you hold
over me; sometimes the most extraordinary
things are not destined to be understood
they just are
