How am I
supposed to say good-bye
to the
sun, the moon, the earth, the sky
The best,
the worst - the peak, the fall
I came,
I loved, I had it all
for one
split second in eternity
because
I felt this love's infinity
that told
me it would all work out
How can
I leave when all these doubts
swirling
round within this mortal mind
the highest
is the lowest now in kind
and somehow
I must span this gap
to walk
the wire, spring the trap
that might
destroy the all I ever was
and I wonder
what emotion really does
Are feelings
valid? Does love exist?
I look
and see a heavy mist
descending
over mountains all around
I listen
for an answer, but no sound
within
my range of hearing comes
as I try
to add the facts to sum
of balance
that might let me try
to spread
my wings again and fly
I love this
place, this time, this space
of love
descending within grace
of angels
all around if I but see
'tis love
of all, alone, that sets us free
