looking back I tried to see you
but the window cracked
your image faded quickly from me
the room around turned black
as days went by-I tried to find you
but you’re no longer there
bitter tears fell from blind eyes
my sad cries filled the air
cursing light, I prayed for dark
where once again I’d see
your smiling face-there in my dreams
and you would still love me
… so time marched on through cloudy days
and somewhere down in time
I’d feel you like a slow, warm breeze
float gently through my mind
what can heal the wounds inside
and what will make me whole
the window cracked-I’m all alone
the darkness claims my soul
then by chance, I turn around, and
though the window cracked
you’re there again-love without end
our love lives - amen.
