A shadow lightly brushed the ground

As the sun mercilessly beat down,

Molten rays masking the guilt

That enshrouds the hearts of men.

A quiet breeze stirred the leaves

Of the tall, silent trees,

Caressing the smooth face of the earth

As perhaps a lover might.

He reached out to my heart;

His gentle touch moved my soul.

As he ran his fingers through my hair

He surrounded my entire existence.

With knowing that he could not stay

And sorrow filling this empty room-

We danced to an earthly tune

Of laughter, love and life.

As the sun slowly faded from the sky

He removed his presence from out my heart.

Brushing his lips lightly against mine

He backed away, a tear in his eye

And with a saddened smile,

He took to the skies,

Soaring farther and farther 'til out of sight.

I stood watching as he flew-

A solitary tear falling from my eye.

Through the sorrow and dark of night

Somehow I knew deep in my heart

That one day we would meet again.
