To Hold Love Close

When love's bright colors turn shades of blue, Changed by separation, where love will dream A deep yearning asks the soul to pursue, Cross eternity as a lonely gleam Could its soft glister reach you in flight? Would you hear my soul calling through the mist? This torchbearer from love's endless blue night That hungers for your touch I can't resist When souls connect in this timeless meeting Find comfort in its sacred bonds of need To hold lonely times are never fleeting And dream that this traveler will succeed How empty the space not filled with yearning To feel each separation with hearts burning contest Gren's Evergreens #2 Unchained Melody 4/23/16
