For a few brief seconds the brilliance
of the sun peeked through
Reminiscent of the few stolen moments
I got to spend loving you
In the blink of an eye the clouds shrouded the sky in shades of blue and gray
Just as quickly you reached into my soul
and tore my heart away
The azure colors are turbulent
like that of a raging sea
With winds blowing at hurricane force
To take you further and further from me
My arms stretched out wide
in endless hope and desperation
Trying with all my might to reach
towards my perceived salvation
For just a single solitary day
To bask in your glowing warmth
Secure in the comfort of your embrace
No longer tortured by the storm
How much would I sacrifice
For that one chance at redemption
Would I throw caution to the wind
Forgetting all of my apprehensions
If fortune would ever be so kind
As to rain down on this deserted shore
Then we could live a lifetime
Captive in loves solace for evermore
