Almost to the Top

My dear friend can you bear to take another breath? If you look beyond those evergreen trees you will see we are so close. It’s just afar off over those mountains. Can you bear to keep your tired eyes open for one more second? Look up to the sky and see for the day is not yet gone and we still have to walk on. My dear friend can you bear to take another step? We are so close. Do not watch them point their fingers because we are almost to the top. Even though the world doesn’t seem to be on our side, know that we are all here and those of the world are not. I am always here and we are almost to the top.

Beginning to end

One step ahead

One lasting glance

Two of them decide

Two of them need a chance

Three is full of love

Three plus maybe one more

Four is an even number

Four I love you more

Five steps behind

Five long years have past

Six levels of patience

Six causes defeat so fast

Seven late night calls

Seven trips to who knows where

Eight chances I have given you

Eight changes got you nowhere

Nine times I stopped asking

Nine things you gave away

Ten times my heart was broken

Ten times I begged you to stay

To the depths of the sea

I recall the days when the light in your eyes shown bright and no fear did you fear though fading was the time. The days before the cold winter’s chill that poured a blanket of gray over the sky. When the dreams were all lost and my soul so confused with one question in my heart, why? How did the wind blow it high over the mountain tops and how did our love fade away. And why did the clouds wait so long and hover then pour down on this unforgettable day? I release my soul to the depths of the sea that soon I may be forgotten too. Into the deep blue I dive to find your soul that was lost to the bottom of the sea, for life is not life to without my lover with me.
