On this day I am feeling melancholy.
I cannot speak.
It is as if my hands are lead
And my feet do dread
Every step.
My eyes have forgotten how sweetly
They can see.
Even though the sun rises to
Caress my heart and remind me
I am alive.
My body screams
As it talks to itself
Misinterpreting every word.
My breath does not delight in the pleasure of
Breathing
This day.
Oh what adventures we have shared.
Together.
We have climbed mountains
And sang in sweet unison cheers of victory
As we arrived at the summit.
Together.
We have crawled through muddy,
Murky valleys
And rejoiced at the sight
Of the rising sun
As the morning air filled our lungs with hope.
Together.
We have laughed until we cried
And our bodies and bones have trembled
As sorrow has wracked us to the core.
Together.
We have stood in silence,
Watching the sun kiss the horizon
Goodnight,
All the while
Quietly anticipating the realization of sweet dreams coming alive
In the wake of tomorrow.
Together.
And on each adventure,
Each detour,
Each long dry straightaway,
Every joyous celebration,
Every tiny step forward,
Each slip backwards,
Whether you have been through a portion
Or this whole amazing
Journey
With
Me
Thus far,
I thank you.
Creaky wooden floor
Beneath my feet.
Misty mountain sunrise.
Anxiously anticipating warm coffee
On my lips
As I clear the sleep from
My eyes .
If we could be.
Just set our souls free
And
Be.
One and one equals
One.
Be
Like the moon and the sun.
Together
They keep the world as one.
Together
They
Create the beautiful
Sunrise and sunset
On the oceans edge.
Together
They
Compose the
Beginning
And
The end.
Yet never ending
As One.
I will stand steady on the shore
As the storm rages in your soul.
I will stand steady with a light
Burning fierce
Burning bright
Until you crawl upon the sand
Spent and relenting
Exhausted from the fight.
And when that time comes
I will lie with you
In the
Aftermath.
Together
We will set our eyes
To the East.
And with open souls,
With open
Eyes,
Greet
The birth of
A
New
Sunrise.
Chole Into Diamonds
