To Where You Are

Perfection.
You are like the petals of nature's finest jewel
That bloom only perfect on one day in all of history.
One......and only one.....
Thy name seeps from the lips with every fevered breath
Taken in deepest dreams
Inspired inspirations, exhales of regret
That touch each who turn to listen.
Heartbeats.   Heart.....beats.....
Crescendo of ocean's roar, blood's tide
That ebbs and flows upon the Shore of my Soul.
Feel the push-pull of Mother Moon as she rules o're us
Wandering alone in the night.
Push.......pull.....
Solitude is not being lonely, merely alone.
I have never left you.
And I never will.

It was a promise I made him so long ago now that I do not recall the time of it.
But that matters not, in a world where time has no life
and life has no time.
The promise is the thing.
I thought I felt him,
riding the darkness of the storm,
coming back to me.
Yet in the quiet of my heart,
there is no other
either there or appearing on the sea in front of me.
I have kept his watch.  Days, months, more.  As he would do, were he here.
He did not think I knew of this, this watch of personal vigil he kept, yet what is it that the one half of the other does not know? 
So much akin we are as to be twin flames of the same taper,
one wick, one source, two entities,
sometimes flickering as one,
sometimes rising and falling of a separate accord.

We cannot always see the truth, for we do not know it all, but only our part,
Yet is it not all there, just all the same? 
And so it has proven, yet again. 
I am sure that all things are connected, even if we do not know how it would be so.  Events are interconnected, braided together to make the chain of one's life.
I am but impatient for the thing that I know will happen, eventually.
I will dwell on it yet again, in a night or two, but for now, I am weary.
I must make my way back to the Temple of Elune, for the watch to come, for the prayers that have become my life.  There my strength will return for I know from whence it comes.
Yea, I have only to have  patience and to believe. 

Now in understanding of the full circle of the moon's journey I say the words of my heart back again to him, I say again the prayer with which I began.  It is the last task I do every night, and always the same, for it gives me some small measure of comfort that all is in order and that one day the promise will be fulfilled. 

I cannot explain how I know, but I know, as surely as I know my heart beats, that no matter the distance between us, he is there, gazing at the same sky, the same moon, repeating the same promise to himself, even as am I. 

I know you hear me.
For you are only a breath away.
And a breath away is not too far......
.....to where..... you are. 

Therefore I shall wait upon you.
I have Patience, in all her winged splendor, firmly bonded to me, now,
And she will fail me not.
I shall wait upon you, and my strength shall rise, as I do so.
So that for as long as it takes, I shall wait upon you,
even as I wait upon the Lord.

Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memory, so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are my
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
