Eden

I can breathe

And feel the warmth beneath my feet

Oh how I've longed for the warm winds of spring

I am complete

Salt and pine fills the air

So delicate and bare

My Lilac white and fair

At the base of the old oak

Winter begins to thaw

Listening for nature's music

Gently deep in thought

The smell of lily wafts sweetly on the wind

I hear her singing

Sending pulses through my skin

I hear you faintly in my sleep

Your voice

Soft as a warm and gentle breeze

At times I sense you with me

Drifting through the evergreens

I see you faintly in my dreams

Your eyes

Bright blue they put me at ease

And though we did not meet

I remember you it brings me peace

In quiet suffering

Pain should be shared

Be mindful

For I have always cared

Please take my hand

One day you'll understand

Shaking cold I'm lost in a waking dream

Why am I dealing with this sense of hopelessness

Cold and haunted by a harsh regret

At the base of the old oak

Winter begins to thaw

Listening for nature's music

Gently deep in thought

The smell of lily wafts sweetly on the wind

I hear her singing

Sending pulses through my skin

I hear you faintly in my sleep

Your voice

Soft as a warm and gentle breeze

At times I sense you with me

Drifting through the evergreens

I see you faintly in my dreams

Your eyes

Bright blue they put me at ease

And though we did not meet

I remember you it brings me peace

Cold I'm haunted by my own regret

One day I may understand why we never met
