Voices of Waking
Standing on a balcony over looking a mountain
my gaze stays steady on the west
as I can see the setting sun,
a gentle breeze stirs and glides over me
bringing a taste of the coolness in the night to come
I breathe deep, watching the last flicker of light
as the sky's pastel colors slowly turn dark
giving away to the deep velvet of the night sky
I feel my inner calmness soothe me,
matching itself to the heartbeat of the surrounding wilderness
I look up, the sky is now dark,
slowly the moon comes out, to shed her guiding light
the stars then follow,
twinkling above on the life that exists below
Even here in this dreamscape
I can feel your presence strong
my senses are set alive as I feel you embrace me
and I know I'll still feel it when I wake
for you are where my senses lie,
where I can feel the soft beating of my heart
as it beats in tune with yours
where the slightest smile fills me with warmth
and my heart with joy
but for now...
your memory keeps me in my sleeping hours
