With my first breath, I breathed your name It was you somehow before anyone else I called, but I called in vain And I remained lost within myself Why each of us must choose I never understood until now The part we play not to lose, Yet time lost forever is allowed Wanting you like the very first breath Two moths to the same bright flame Burning ever so slight, cheating death Both held aloft by whispers of your name And time moves along quicker still Everything a blur of that and this Like things in life always will Things you search ever for, and miss Face to face we ageless stand There you are out of reach As every word carved in sand By the waves upon the beach Flash forward to the end of it all The skies threaten with unending rain, Silently the drops begin to fall As with my last breath, I breathe your name |

You've not lost that magic touch, Sir... not at all. It is so good to fall into your words again... |

so beautiful....it's great joy has its own justice. and dreams are languid and lawless. and everything bows to beauty, when it's fierce and when it's flawless... |
