To One Distant & Beloved

The horizon’s spread their wings
Distance comes forth, covering the fields
Lamplight doused, darkening the cities
And letting black drapes fall

Crossing the vast abyss to where the morning wails

The sighs of an ocean’s breath lull me to sleep,
Where I can recall their faces
Shadows that gathered the threads of distance
And tied the dream to my heart

As ghosts drift through strange skies,
I see yellowed lights come forth- come for me

Light’s on a horizon’s embrace
March towards me trembling body

Tears spilled for you, only you
As blurred sights occupy these thoughts
Bleak memories of your smile and my lost warmth

Horizon’s fold and distance only holds the hope
Longing remains and that is gone takes to the skies
As I remember you…
