For M

Road lays out in miles
across seemingly endless land.
Distance yawns between you, love
and my outstretched hand.

Days for your voice to reach me
when you call out my name.
Without your smile each morning
the sun never shines the same.

Over mountains, rivers and lakes
I wait for you to bridge the gaps
Swim the rivers and the lake
Walk across the snowy caps.

To beat the miles you must recall
to love when I'm not there
Kiss the rain when it falls,
breath the wind like it's my air

Feel the sun like my embrace
Watch the moon glow like my eyes
Know it's love and not proximity
that truly binds the ties.

So though the miles seem daunting
and the days creep slowly by
We will be together again
and greet each other with a sigh.

Beautiful Love

Beautiful Love,
Stay awhile,
It hurts when you're away.
The strings we tied
around our hearts
weren't meant to stretch that way.

For You

For you I sing of life unbridled

For you I live a tale without fear

For you I dance without recital

For I am wishing for you here.
