Moments Before


Together, minutes short
of our breath expiring --
what would you say to me.

Would there be regret,
would our last moments
find us looking back --
or taking the quiet journey,
searching each other's eyes.

Could you tell me that we've
lived a marvelous dream --
speaking the words, ''I love you.''
And knowing beyond ourselves --
there was no other love.



Should we be found alone
in those moments before...
There would be no regrets
of anything past.

While softly stroking your cheek
in the quiet that surrounds
us...

I would tell you again and again
with my eyes how much I have lived
and loved with you

With my lips,
I would give to you my last breath...
and in that moment...
our souls would rise together.

Earthly love
would be the backdrop
of our eternity.
Soul binding love...
ever after, we share.
