Still the Same Beside the glowing fireplace tonight I saw you rocking in the flickering light I said,” My, what a raw and bitter night” But in that moment you had left my sight I keep within emotions that I feel For others think I have no sense of real But you and I took vows until the end And death would never take away a friend Nobody understands what’s left behind They say hallucinations fill my mind But it is you alone who fills my heart Two soul mates still together, though apart You are my life’s companion, still the same And sometimes in the night I call your name I know that you are gone, and yet you’re here And whisper loving notions in my ear “The fireside can warm a bitter night A raging blizzard’s always such a fright I’ll set a cup of tea beside your chair For I know that you’ll soon be sitting there” It’s no one’s place to judge or disbelieve Realities I never couldconceive It’s better not to mention things I know And let the joy within my bosom flow One person’s truth is someone else’s lie One soul’s belief another would deny And who can say what’s real and what’s pretend Or if a dream’s ‘s been found around a bend? More real are you beside my fireplace Than spinning worlds that fly an unknown pace I see you sitting by the flaming light “My, isn’t this a raw and bitter night!” Elizabeth Santos |
