My Eyes have seen a full moon rise above the Parthenon. I sing the silence of snow, wandering in the whisper of wind. I have loved more deeply than I thought possible and been torn asunder by the same man. I have witnessed history in my lifetime. I have become a useless member of society. I’ve walked in the rain and almost been sucked into the ocean. I have died and been ripped from the comforting embrace of darkness.

I fear nothing for myself, other than the loss of those I love and spiders as big as my head. I dream of a place, land that I may lay my head upon and feel the pulse of the earth. I feel a ghosts touch caressing my cheek, the promise of a loved one to share my life. Haunting thoughts of past betrayal creep around my heart and I try to keep them away. I hope, I sing, I dance so that I may know a true love from one who knows honor, respect and passion.

I long to embrace you, my partner, my friend, my love. I see you in my dreams surrounded by a mist that separates us. How long shall we suffer our absence? How long until I may feel you brush the hair from my eyes and the pain from my heart? Will it be in this lifetime? Am I destined to be alone? Hearing your footsteps approaching behind me, I turn around to a fleeting wisp of shape haunting my own steps. To know your face, your voice, your touch.

How long must we go on without one another? You are always near me, I can feel you. I walk on the shores, wind in my hair, where is your ship, where is your caress. When shall I feel you close and tightening your arms around me?
