MY SPIRIT LONGS

MY SPIRIT LONGS

My eyes, they thirst to drink you in
I reach to hold your hand in mine
In dreams of memories with your soul
To write within my Book of Time

My arms, they beg to hold you close
I need to keep you by my side
If only for a fleeting hour
And from the future we would hide

My heart, it pounds to feel your own
The rhythm of your inner song
It lets me know your love is real
That lets me feel your hope is strong

My spirit longs to give you wings
To fly away from here with me
To dance upon our farthest star
Until our demons leave us be

To hear the words I cannot speak
My spirit longs to lend you ears
To hear the song between the lines
Such gentle sounds to ease your fears

To be the verbs we cannot live
To breathe the breath forever true
To walk the steps we leave in time
My spirit longs to be with you
