I wanted to tell you something,
But it came down to one thing;
Seek.
For in your journey, you may find more than you ever thought you needed by the time you get to your destination.

I thank the Heavens for you,
For the nights I wept,
For the days I smiled,
For the secrets I kept.
The dreams I had.
For the hope I lost.
I thank the Heavens that I still have you,
Yes, you…the one staring back at me, who holds this body, who sways this mind.
The one who is both dark and light.
Self.
Me.

We have traveled the world
Of joys and sorrows,
Of expectations and disappointments.
I know not what awaits us tomorrow,
We have traveled the world,
Only to return as friends.

I knew you’d come,
I just didn’t know I’d still be home.
Here you are,
Unbound, warm, delightful,
As sure as the sun rises and sets,
You are here.
Go where you are celebrated,
It’s what they say,
It’s what I hear and sometimes on days like this,
It’s what I aspire to.
So, here I am…present in this moment, with myself,
Grateful.
I cannot hear your voice,
Not in my memory.
I see your face when tears adorn my face,
And it hurts because I cannot remember why I forget you.
I cannot recall what it was that tore us apart,
You grace the heavens, I tell myself this because to imagine you anywhere but there is beyond my soul.
Today I saw you Dad,
I was at work talking to a colleague and there you were…across the fence, in the man talking to his daughter,
reaching out to hold her hand while smiling.
I know it was you because I couldn’t stop the tears,
I cannot hear your voice, heaven knows I have tried to hear it- recall it- feel it- sound it…everything.
The heavens call you their own,
Yesterday was not as tough as today…
I knew I was home when I saw her,
Flowers in her hair, heaven in her eyes,
I knew she was real,
Because she made me feel.
A soul so profound, that moment, like cream.
I want to have coffee with you on a Monday morning,
Let’s sit down at the break of dawn and talk,
It’s been a while,
I want to see the dimple in your left cheek when you smile.
I want to watch you frown when you talk,
Or how you shake your left leg,
Ten minutes into a conversation…
It’s been a while.
I want to have coffee with you on a Monday morning,
Just like we used to.
I fell in love with the soul that had wind in her hair.
She came into my world and whisked me out of it,
I followed her scent.
I fell in love with the soul that smiled in the midnight air.
My Mother warned me about it,
Be careful or she may shred your heart.
I followed her scent, to my descent.
I fell in love with the girl that had wind in her hair,
No one could catch her, mold her, wind her, break her, capture her.

I dream of you,
Of your smile, your laugh and your voice.
I dream of you,
Of your dreams, the way your hands would move as you worked,
Of the way you spoke to keys, strings and sticks…beats I’d call them,
Light as you called them.
To the world it was music,
But to you, it was eternity, so I let you embrace it.
I dream of you Stardust,
Of all the things we left unsaid,
Of all the places we never stayed,
Of all the dreams we prayed,
Of the eternity we shared.
I dream of you Stardust and this right here is the truth.
