I meditated to the shores of my breath And the silence was loud My heart was a foreign device My form a feather, a cloud I pictured your eyes in my mind Your lips and your smile The touch of your hands So gentle, I grasped for while I conjured the warmth You send from your fingers To my hand as you grasp How the heat of it lingers Like a child with a kite Keep me grounded yet flailing The thought of you anchors My conscience is sailing The pictures that float Across and away You come and possess Replacing the mess with your stay Do I even exist If not for your love? I would find myself empty and lost Like a bulb, out and off You’re real and awake Alive and come true Bring here your reality Enlighten me now and anew
