Hold me
close
once again.
Let me feel
your heart
beat
again and again.
Let not
my eyes lie
let them speak
the truth
of our love
over
and
over again.
Let my feet take me
down
that path you trod
just to make it
back to me
once
more
once again.
Then you’ll hold me
close
you’ll speak loving words
we’ll be together
us two
once again.

One Day
The trees were bare
The next
Leaves were there
Cascading
Waving in the breeze
Hiding treasured nests
Deep within silent
Green leaves
Soaking up the sun
Drinking in the rain
Leaves
breathe life
Into a mighty tree again.

When I look out to sea
I see you looking
looking back over
just at me
The waves roll in
and
back out again
bringing with them
a message from overseas
a message
you sent just for me
In my thoughts I touch your lips
say words of love
then send them
on the wind
over water, overseas
to you with love
just from me.

Not sure how
But
Do know when
I understood
That
The end begins
Again, again.

Tremendous is the word I see
Nothing else will ever be
Put it down to what has been
Let it go, see it spin
Reeling back around again.
Not just once
But back again
And there again
Again again.
See it spin in front of me
Reeling, reeling back around
Not just once but all around
And round again
Tremendous is what it is to me.
