sunlight
on this plane
you and I are separated by
          time and by space
but still
your light fills my heart
          warms my soul
                    gives me peace
and I stand here on this ground
          in adoration of your beauty
                    longing to be there in the sky with you
to be a cloud
        a bird
        a breeze
just to be near you

but

sunlight
on that plane
you and I are joined by
          love and by dreams
and still
your touch fills my spirit
          caresses my heart
                    gives me passion
and I stand here on this plane
          in adoration of your beauty
                    longing to be here with you for eternity
to be a traveler
        a seeker
        a teller
just to be with you
