You call me
a voice I have
known somewhere
away in the world
where dreaming
reins,
a voice surpassing
logic's grip,
softly pulling
me towards
an obscure
island I will
never find

I know your eyes,
darker than ever
brave and wise,
and more,
eyes of a worthy
value long since
dead
within eyes
of strangers

I know your
friendship,
it carries truth
like no other
friendship,
your spirit
won't fade

I know your love
it shines true,
through and with,
your endearingly honest
loyalty to
your daughter,
without pretense
void of selfish
expectations

You are a rare
bird in a
burning forest
not to capture
but to find
and cherish
until you
fly

I long to fly
with you
But here I remain
stationed
on the ground
with eyes
ever-focused
on your
sky

always feeling
always longing
always knowing
the tender truth
of your hauntingly
beautiful
soul

Make your words as sweet as honey, someday you may have to eat them.
