Keep the Faith

Along the journey's way,

I learned I had to keep the faith,

even standing out in the rain,

just try to hold on...

for the sun.

And the treacherous path

wound around danger and distraction,

all to keep me from my goal.

The road was long and rough,

but, worth it in the end of the journey

to begin a new one.

All that kept me going was faith,

that belief beyond all evidence that

I was going the right way,

getting closer everyday.

I kept the faith, deep in my heart,

sometimes in my hunger 

it was my only food...

I kept going, sometimes to rest

along the way, but always 

moving nearer to you.

I watched the signs,

I counted the portents and wonders

I saw in the world; 

I'll tell you about them one day,

and how I kept the faith though 

they were ominous and signaled the end.

But I survived the apocalypse, twice,

to find you, the end of the world be damned.

I had to find you, all those days I 

looked for you in the waves from the beach,

all those nights I stared up at the stars

wondering if you saw them too,

that we might be connected by the face

of the moon...but alas, nothing, but,

I kept the faith, I kept coming.

And one day I found you and how terrifying

the choices of jumping in,

or the choice of walking away just knowing...

There was only one choice that kept the faith,

and so I jumped into this life 

where we know each other

and love each other, and every day

I will keep the faith

because it brought me to you.

 

 

I Was Searching

All my life, I was searching

for you, reaching out 

into the cosmos, into the universe

to find you...

I was searching everything and everyone,

how could I track you down?

And I listened in the wind 

and I called to you from afar

although you couldn't hear me yet.

I searched for my bloodline,

but all I found were dead ends...

I looked in the stars and tried 

to find you, and they kept saying,

we are leading you home;

but I was confused, and home eluded me.

All the tantalizing clues leading me towards you,

then I felt you, close to me, inside of me,

and I searched within, for you...

and I found you within me.

And my blood led me home,

carried me through the homesickness,

helped me rise above the trauma,

and navigate the wandering maze,

until I found you, and we cried tears

of joy because I was searching, 

and because I found you.

I don't know if I believe

in destiny, I believe in me.

I don't know if I believe in fate,

but I found you because 

I was searching and kept going

when it got cold... 

kept going when I heard nothing

on the winds..I just kept believing,

in you and me. 

What if it all works out?

I knew you were out there,

were you waiting? I had to know.

So, I kept going, and now,

I'm so glad I didn't quit,

even when the burden was heavy

even when there was no light 

in the tunnel's bend...

blindly going forward, but 

never giving up, I had to find you...

and then one day I did,

and a new fear gripped me:

what if you didn't want me?

what if I was a secret?

what if...and then I remembered:

what if it all works out?

And I jumped anyway.

 

This Connection

These cords cannot be cut,

Some would say that these cords 

do not even exist,

but we know differently...

The connection between us 

is palpable, a thing both felt 

and observed...

Felt in our hearts and souls,

born out in our minds

as a thing which has not 

been corrupted, as if that could even be.

We are one as we were before, yet more

this time in touch and 

more this time in experience...

we continue on and on together.

This connection never getting static,

never getting disconnected again.

 

Take My Hand

Come take my hand, follow me

to the secret places I have hidden

from everyone...

I will show you these things

because our love is strong;

like handprints in cement

our love does not fade;

we loved through the distance,

we loved through the pain,

finding each other still feeling the same,

from when we were broken

a long time ago.

Now, we heal, the pain washing away

like dirt in the rain...

walk with me in the freedom 

of our love for one another...

take my hand and feel me...

interlock my fingers and breathe with me.

Mother's Nature

She saw fit to move us around,

for all the pain it may have caused,

the joy when reunited will wipe 

the pain away, finally.

But never far was mother's nature 

in me...her love and kindness, and

her sadness as well, for the thing

we needed the most was taken 

from us first. 

But, She saw fit as She does, and we, 

moved across the world like notes 

in an opera that had a crescendo

not far from the middle of the story,

so we cherish the time saved.

And She smiled upon us again,

giving us back to each other...

all the love I had to let go

to get to your love, forgotten

like a shadow in the twilight...

now I don't have to translate my soul.

And She knew what she had done

when She put us together

cleaving us out of the same energy,

us experiencing the Universe,

the Universe experiencing itself 

through us, the unbounded Love

which is mothers' nature.

I Dream Because I Can

The time is drawing near,

and I grow excited, eager

and full of anticipation, 

I think ahead to my time with you 

which will fly by as it always does.

I dream of holding your hand,

I dream of hugs at will,

I dream of tousled hair.

And I grow excited...

I'm going to meet my mother.

I'm going to put an end 

to a lifelong mystery,

because I can,

because I should,

because I will.

I, am excited, and I know

you are too.

Into Legend

One day, this love story will be

all that's left of this journey...

our story will pass into legend,

this little journal our footprints;

because we did it, 

and found each other

and the angels will sing of it.

They will gather and celebrate

in the celestial the Ophanim

spinning at the Throne.

The choirs singing to the Glory,

And at the table, and in the assembly

they will tell it;

I followed my blood home...

I found my name and my bloodline

in you...into legend.
