Captured in this gap in time
Where I am earth
Where I am mine
Making moments in this space
Where time is frozen
But I make haste
I still worry-
Here and there.
Will time thaw
And back I'll be?
I still think-
Back to then.
Back to when I screamed within
Back to when I scratched my skin and begged the skies for love.
I still think-
How far I've come.
I have a dream
He's magic
He's beyond.
He's grace and mystery and love and fun.
He's a sunflower and perennials.
He's the moon, stars, and sun.
I have someone.
I have someone!
Not just dark skies of gray or some warm body to pass the day.
Not just words of loving tone or someone to call my own.
I have someone who makes me whole,
Fills my body,
Hears my soul!
When he cries, I feel his pain,
When we love, our love still stain.
We know each other like the ocean knows the moon.
We move together in sync from morn' to well past noon.
And we make each other smile like watching a flower starting to bloom.
Oh, how I have someone.
Someone I don't want to let go.
But every summer I shudder gawking at the shimmering snow.
I don't want to lose them and fall back in that dark of mine
I want forever still to be captured in this moment in time.
