Quietly
I hold you dearly
Singing songs of love
So clearly
Cherished by those that hear
The melody
Quietly
I say words that hold you close
Words of wisdom for love
For
I love you
Oh so much, the most.
Quietly
I walk away
Never looking back
Never saying
Or
Waving goodbye.
Quietly
I disappear from your life
For
You have learned
All that’s needed.
Quietly.

Standing on the precipice
Going forward
Then
Looking back to see
All those who stand
Stand with me.

Heaven lives
Inside of me
Part of you
All of what we see.
Heaven is
Whatever you need it
To be
There around embracing you
Embracing me.
Heaven gives
To those that need
It’s strength, It’s love
Everything.
Let Heaven go
Let it be
Throughout our world
Loving you, loving me.

No one can, can be
no one can see
things the same
same
as you or me.
Travel through life
live as well as you can
smile
be the best possible
as only you
you can.

Seek to find
The answer
Pleased
To know today
I have
The directions
To navigate all obstacles
To journey
Find my way.

No more
Today.
Tomorrow
Will be
What it turns out
To be.
But
Today, only today
I’ll let it be.
I’ll sit back
And
Enjoy my solitude
My serenity.

Quietly, silently
I move through thee, the mountains, the meadows
So full of such beauty, majesty.
Tomorrow I’ll be in the midst of a stream
Flowing rapidly
Swimming with creatures silently, quietly.
I will fly in the sky
Where birds live, laugh and die
I will be for a while, one of them.
No one will know
No one will be happier, happier than me
Moving quietly, silently.

You didn’t tell me
You didn’t say
Those words I needed to hear
Before
Before you went away.
Silence is all I hear
Silence
Fills the hour, the day.
I’d hoped
To hear you speak
I’d hoped
You’d say
Soft, loving words to me
Before you left
Before you went away

Last night I saw a firefly
it lit up
the whole damn sky.
Yes, last night
a tiny fly radiated light
made
a bit of darkness bright.
Last night when I saw a firefly.

I know once again
You are near to me
I feel your touch
Your breath breathing
Quietly
My heart pounds
My finger seek
To caress
The very essence of you
That be
To keep
Keep you forever
Here
Near to me
