Always

(always) When I sat down here at the park, I wanted to write and waited for a spark. But the day is too lovely to not look around. It distracts me from making my pen sound. I was thinking about you, as I occasionally (always) do, And how you would appreciate this sky of solid blue. I wanted to write something specific to you. But my mind was blank; all thoughts flew. So I settled to let flow out whatever would from this ink, And it just so happens to reflect what I occasionally (always) think. I look up to see your eyes and gaze about to see your soul Though you are not here, I see you in creation as a whole. It's truly a perfect day, with the sun and it's rays Coupled with the breeze that over my skin plays. And so it is as I occasionally (always) find You have set up camp deep in my mind. And despite the fact you are 700 miles away I can see all that is your beauty when given moments like today. In the elegance of the flower; the lively playfulness of the air, I catch glimpses of the glory that you occasionally (always) wear. I'm sure you know to you my thoughts occasionally (always) wander And the more I know you, my heart grows occasionally (always) fonder.

Not sure if this is a tribute to God or a soul, but it does not matter. "I look up to see your eyes and gaze about to see your soul Though you are not here, I see you in creation as a whole. "For it could also represent both, which makes it amazing.

Oh my ! This is sooooo beautiful and romantic. Your thoughts curl around me like a tender symphony. (Such a lovely melody) One that you wish would never end. There is something about that word *always* that leaves me breathless. I am wrapping your thoughts gently around me. Because.. :) Brandy
