Poetry 20
(c) Candace
If on that day it comes, the feet that leave this path are mine
And you stay here to carry on while I travel on ahead
Do not mourn for me dear friend, take joy in what we shared
Carry on our journey, face each day with love instead
Please know that I will never leave - I'll be here at your side
So linked by a strong silver cord that only we can see
I'll be the wind you feel at your elbow on a still summer day
No farther than a heartbeat - that's how close I'll be
That day was written long ago by our loving creator's hand
Until that day let's find joy in this beautiful world
And it will all proceed in time - in accordance with his plan
As slowly our life's tapestries are so gently unfurled
When that day does in time arrive, please take my hand in yours
Hold it softly and whisper to the silver web my name
And as I change my form know I still will be forever in your heart
The bond we share will not break but ever will remain
Because love cannot be measured by time but only by depth
Because love cannot die it can only change it's form
Because some links can never be broken
Because
Our spirits have touched and in touching I found
Love and light like I had not known could exist
Our time here is too short, no matter how long
And while loss causes pain it is so worth that risk
If even we were granted one hundred years or more
Would we feel that time was long enough to hold
But I know I held eternity within a single heartbeat
I know ours is a song that is still waiting to unfold
For a bond has formed that can never be broken
We are part one of the other and that will not change
We will always walk together - of that we can be sure
Even when the day comes we walk on different planes
If we are parted please still hold my heart and my hand
Never forget the bond of love we know and share
Remember that we danced in the heavens with the stars
When you look to the heavens I will still be there
In the mists of the morning my heart reaches out
Lost in the gray fog a silent cry of sadness and pain
From across time and distance I will be answered
The touch of a kindred heart reaching to answer me
For those of kindred spirit there is no distance
Touch is of the mind, the spirit, and the heart
And even never met see what they've never seen
So it is, souls that have never touched are linked
So as it has always been, seeing not with eyes
Seeing not what is seen but see what truly is
Touching not with hands but with the heart
Hearing not with our ears but with our souls
And when truly met beyond the world most see
In the moment that is a heartbeat and eternity
Kindred spirits meet and touch and answer
And amongst the very stars together they dance
in between the cold grey of not knowing and the unease of truth
in the still aloneness with a thousand voices roaring in my ears
lost in the wide open spaces within the confinment of my mind
no room to move nothing within my sight nothing to hold near
so i sit, alone, waiting, no one to reach to as i hide from them all
pulled in as small as i can be so no one will see me, reaching out
swallowed by the cold silence as i cry against the deafening roar
i speak to no one in a silent whisper and they answer in a shout
Eyes that meet in silent understanding
Hands that hold gently in a strong, firm grasp
Thoughts shared without a spoken word
Someone whose there without being asked
So souls that are linked one to the other
Without ever knowing still find a way to meet
And within that instant when souls touch
Their paths are joined before they ever speak
So I hold out my hand and offer my heart
I leave open my soul knowing that you see
And I stand here before you an open book
Knowing you alone know and see the real me
