For You - Bianca's Song
For You (Bianka’s song)
Some loving things You said
I will never ever forget.
How, with a word or a glance
You could shoo me right out of my head.
The precious moments as we danced,
Your hands so fine, resting in mine,
Fingers barely touching,
Yet gently intertwine.
The silk of your hair
Caressing my face,
Two birds together flying,
In a timeless place.
At peace in the mystery
In a safe and sacred space,
I could meet You in the strength
Of your Feminine Grace.
Our hearts beating, like an ancient drum
Our bodies melt as we embrace,
As we often became one.
Struggling to fit the breadth of your Love
Into a word or a sentence,
Is like trying to capture
A butterfly’s essence.
You’re an open book, not easy to read,
But no masks or pretence
I often didn’t know how,
To protect your rare innocence
Even now.
And your Mother and care-less Father
Still blind and deaf to your needs
They will never know your treasures
And how easily You bleed.
Your enduring beauty
Still takes my breath away
You just seem to ripen and mature
Day after day,
Even as the laugh-lines deepen
And your hair has tinges of grey.
You’re stronger than almost anyone I know
Even as You’re so
Slender, gentle and mysterious, although
Only for those with hearts that feel and eyes that see
Because sensitivity, is hard for You to show:
But You find your peace in the Earth and trees,
And your child laughing in the snow.
You’re intelligent but not vain or clever
And are kind, caring and wise
But I have never
Seen any meanness in your eyes.
But You don’t let anyone put You down
Or even compromise
You’re a simple Queen
With the heart of a Lioness
Yet graceful and serene
Ferociously fighting for the ones who are homeless
Who are scared, lost and unseen
With lives in a mess
And only You, fearless enough to intervene.
Finally the cracks have become so deep
And way too many to mend.
The bridges lost and walls too steep
And we cannot lie or pretend.
So although our road together
Has finally come to an end,
In my heart,
There’s a special place
For You my special friend.
Nothing is wasted or lost
And I will always be grateful to You
How You changed my life forever
You came out of the mist and the rain
Just as I thought that Love would never, ever
Visit me again.
