TOGETHER

I once looked into your eyes,

and saw eternity gazing back at me

I once knelt down by the side of a creek,

and saw your face -the mirror of my soul

whenever the shadow of hope, the trace of a ghost

of happiness disappears from my ash-black heart,

I whisper your name and I remember -

I remember what it means to live.

life beyond legend, life beyond myth,

life beyond me

I try to remember your face and I can't.

No, your face was carved by god

on the dawn of the seventh day

when the hour of judgment comes, I'll whisper

your name for the wind to carry it away

and maybe -

just maybe, we can finally be

Together
