Filling the Paces Between Our Spaces
The moon and you
I look at the moon and I feel blue
You’re not here, you went away
Nothing I could do, could make you stay
Even though, I prayed and prayed
I hoped to never see that day
But you were needed somewhere else
God He knew all about your wealth
I’ll miss you till the day I die
Even so, I know I have to try
My life goes on despite my cries
And enemies come and crowd my mind
Trying to drive me from my purpose
Trying to make me diverted
I think of what you would say
And I’m empowered by your loving ways
A great sadness I feel from losing you
But God He helps me to renew
Sometimes, I have moments of tears
Yet I have a will to see me through my years
It won’t get me past loving you
That is something I’d never do
But one day when I’m on the other side
I’ll see you again in that next life
I know what love is and I can reach
Others who feel they can barely breathe
Read my poems and let the emotions
Crash around us as would the ocean
Take the reader to the loving place
That I once knew when I saw your face
I’m not here to win any races
Just filling the paces between our spaces
