you leave me speechless

A Prayer

I knew
you. I
scoured
the breadth
of my
mind in
a moment
and lost
the traces
of your
form in
the dark.
Where are the
fields
and the hills
and
the rain? Where
are our
stars
and our
fantasies?
Then slow,
soars and dips
your
summer-
laden smile.
A prayer
is the
blood of my love.
Assume your grace
and come
to my side. If
ever you cannot stand,
I will help you.
If ever you are cold,
I will wrap
what warmth
I have around you.
I will not
forget. I will
not lie.
I will not drown
your love
in my fear, in
my pride. I will
speak your name. I will
whisper it; I will shout it.
I will spill all
my days
and my heart
for you.
May the God
of mercy
loose our bonds
and bind our hearts.
May light
be the hope
and the song
and the burden.
May your memory
bring dreams
and your longings
be fulfilled
in the place where
we meet again.
