When silence could speak

When Silence could speak
why words where preferred
I left the expanse of seas
to be in river, barely heard

Banished to travel distances
along the meandering river
until I again meet the seas
universal, expansive, quiver

Now I seek across the seas
that expanse that was you
I seek from horizon to horizon
I seek the light that is you

Memories of you are fresh
on sand across this expanse
perfect; yet a bit imperfect
turning, giving your glance

I see your glorious face
and I live a thousand lives
when you set across horizon
just see how night survives

come you glowing face
come you beating heart
come oh, beautiful soul
I am here for my part

take away all moments
Take away my breath
for that one moment
then I embrace death
