So why don’t you close your eyes,
release the air polluted with fear,
and float like a wind borne feather
back, further back, as far as you can
into the depths of time?

Why don’t you roll as if you’re a wave
over the rocks and pebbles of woe
onto the shore still there as before
when last you recalled happier times?

Why don’t you as if you’re a flame
burst from the snapping and cracking of wood
into the freedom of passionate dreams
where you lay bare the wonder of you?

Why don’t you choose to listen awhile
to the sound of your heart beating no lies
and feel at your core the emotion of soul
force energy upward into your brain?

If you try and believe you’re over the line
open your eyes and picture me there
not embracing but touching first on your face
then trailing the feel of me down to your feet.  

And just when you think you’re ready for more  
see me step back and merge into the shadows
as if I have left and not honoured a pledge
or reneged on a promise made long ago.

But there I will be always looking at you  
until you believe and truly can know
love has a way of making things be!

Wow.  You gotta love someone when they empower you and then take a step back!  Neat write.
