I am the breath
I am the earth and sky
I am the sound of silence
I am the very mist
I look into you

echo in your dreams
in unspoken things
the sacred vow
the seas of memory

feel my longing
remember my words
with your soul
hear the pounding
of my heart

life flows
like an ocean between us
be the dream and call my name
say those forgotten words

a truth hidden
even from minds
after lifetimes,
after all we have been
the eternal longing

our hearts
know the secret of release
the key to heaven
the distance between us
is but a bridge we have to cross

my beloved
we shall take that chance
and trust our wings
to take us home
