Distant dreams fell into distant places
laced into the word of many emotions
we faced the distance together hand held in hand
growing like flowers, wild, free spirits going wild

Through the storms of every battle friendship turned our way
the laughter and giggles shared
on a journey to save the mother earth
never bothered us kept us going on and strong

You always tried to be the one walking by myside
if we walked on sand your footsteps would be next to mine
sometimes only mine lay wet to dry
because I carried you along the shore in my arms one day

But now I stand underneath a greater man
his shadow keeping me in the shade
never forgetting he took you away that night
and in the morning light I wept
not caring of the ones that watched my weakened side

Travelled towards your last known place
needed to tell you my feelings
it wasn’t friendship I found from the start
it was the longing to be apart of you, yours

But looking now upon a blood-stained floor
lodged in my voice a stoned filled with pain
trying to whisper words of love for the very first time
you were now by myside the way you wanted to be

Instead of walking hand held in hand in this life
broken promises sank in the lake I laid my feelings down with you
knowing now not love but hate
searching out your killer knowing I was too late

Why did you have to leave my side?
slip into the afterlife
taken on that boat that sailed away
leaving me far behind with the tears I cried

All I’ve ever wanted to say is
aeris! I love you come back to me stay…
please don’t leave alone in life
i enjoyed your footprints you left in my mind…

I watch these animations with my son enough to think that is what this poem is about.  It is lovely; you did a great job and when he gets home from his vacation, I'm going to share this with him.  Or, perhaps you've used this as an analogy; in any case, bravo!   ....jo
