When I am a thousand miles away
and you are seemingly a million more
here where I trade the sun for rain
dwell in the intermittent patches of grey
I distract myself in gardens green
study madala art of spider weaves
decaying, diaphanous maple leaves
the cool of wet mud wriggling around my toes
and yesterday the black birds watching me
disturbingly, the cawing crows
and I could hardly think or speak
as I dialed you long distance on the phone.

Try
swimming against the tide today
And if you drown
It's better than drifting forever

Love is an eternal cycle
A delicate balance between ecstasy and despair
An emotion like an ocean
Deep and wild
Dangerous and comforting
Pulling always towards your soul

Love is an eternal cycle
A pendulum that swings between the  lost and the found
A feeling like a summer meadow
Beautiful and colour
Heaven and hell
Pulling always us towards the forever

Few look up to heaven
To see the Lord in all his beauty
Many look down
And will forever wonder
