Godspeed
A losing river runs with chains—
Still, cannot bind with the sea;
When alive with you was its only calling.
Now I return and recur over and over
In my loss – my great mental heart.
My love, my life,
Are you still mine?
Anywhere, I need your love.
I need your love, anywhere.
Locked-in,
Me underneath
The numbing quiet—
Where all I can think of is you:
Your breath fogs images in my chains.
Only your touch can feed them into running over.
Anywhere, I need your love.
I need your love, anywhere.
I’m reaching up through you.
Our power is more than sun or moon.
Unchain
—This melody—
To yours free.
(Inspired by my #1: GREGORIAN - Unchained Melody)
