Until...

So for now, I'll close my eyes and be,

Imaginin' you, imaginin' me

Wondering when, my love, I'll be

With you, lover, with you..

 

Your head within my elbow nests,

My arm across your right thigh rests

At last, the answer to my life’s quests:

By you, lover, by you...

 

Until the day that time shall be

Just dreaming of you, dreaming of me

Into your heart I'll shortly flee

To you, lover, to you...

 

And when that day at last shall dawn

And I your pillow lay upon

The dreams I'll dream, but new dreams spawn

In you, lover, in you!

Mark:
This reminds me of a theme I once wrote about, "until we can be together in the world, let us hold each other in dreams". I can feel the resolve in it, almost like a resolution for the new year. There are not always words of comfort when a person feels torn in a few directions, but when love is true it is a healing and forgiving force.

Mark,
not only is this beautiful, I hear a song within these vowels.
A nice song by maybe Nora Jones.. Really quite lovely..
