I close my eyes and place

the palm of my hand

on my heart

and find your name being spoken

in the pulse beating there

echoing all through

beating in the drum

of borrowed from earth

out into the vastness

of this DNA

and up into the stars

let these songs of the heart

fall upon your ears

in the gentle whispers

of love

and radiate through

the infinite of galaxies

so that wherever you are

these songs will

fall all around you

as gentle as rains

that have not surrendered

the suns that have kissed them

in the way I do not forget

the light you have given

to me

and know it is the light

that will draw me back

to the skies again

in the circle of dream that we live

as water transforming

again and again

like songs remembered

in the beat of our hearts

and the whispers

they name
