Let me sing
And as I do I beg you listen
Though I’m sure you’ve heard
For I’ve heard the echoes ring
In your display.
Let me say
That strong I feel for the spirit
That is you and you’ve given me.
On the banks
Of different rivers we stand apart
Yet joined in soul and thought
And the thinking brings the thanks
And warmth that dried
The tears unseen inside
From the unheard screaming of the spirit
That is us and deep in each do see.
As earth holds Moon
I do hold you, never touching, to myself
And tides rise in me from the fullness of you
And I’m tied to mast before your tune
So listen please
As I on seas
Proclaim devotion before your winds and spirit
That caress the sails of this ship that carries me.
I am in spirit
Joined to you though I within me know
That separate we shall always be
And though life allows me no way near it
I will always sing
For the joyous thing
That has come to allow my soul to freely live
As I hope you do and all before you see.
Very beautiful language. Written of a love, or a muse? Either way, whatever the inspiration...it is a beautiful piece of poetry!
I hope I understood this poem, which I interpret as unfulfilled love. Very interesting imagery.
