Distant Love
I have dreamed
and dreamed of you
though not enough
my distant love
for darkness
has consumed you
like a glove
my distant love
and the moon
is cold and lonely
as she wanders
high above
where stars
once gave their music
only silence
keeps his touch.
I am sitting
on the headland
I am waiting
keeping watch
for the sun
to break the chains
that have bound me
to this rock
my heart
is like a moon
that is spilling
drop by drop
the silver light
of you
the soul that is
my blood.
The ocean prowls
beneath me
he is hungry
as a wolf
and his howl
is like my anguish
as I cry
my distant love.
How frail
my voice, my body
I am nothing
without us
the hands of time
move slowly
every second
is a loss
emptiness
consumes me
I am filled
with what I’ve lost
but at last
the sun is rising
like a tiny
spot of rust
the tears
that still are falling
soon, will wash away
the dust.
I raise my eyes
to heaven
there’s an angel
high above
he is carrying
a rosebud
he is guided
by a dove
and though
I hardly hear him
I know
it is enough
enough
to bring me closer
to you
my distant love.
