maya

The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance
Our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out of time.
When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun
And the first tree struggled up from the forest floor
I had always loved you more.
You freed your braids
Gave your hair to the breeze.
It hummed like a hive of honey bees.
I reached in the mass for the sweet honey comb there
God, how I love your hair.
You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance.
Lost, injured, hurt by chance.
I screamed to the heavens
Loudly screamed
Trying to change our nightmares into dreams
The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other
in and out
in and out
in and out of time
