Held You

Has my love
   held you back
from the heavens?

Does my lingering   passion
   tether you to earth
   to me
so you cannot
   fly free
so you cannot
   in Spirit   just be?

Because   my love
   cannot die 
   and will not   die,
And speaks   so loudly
   through day
   through night
on earth   and above,
through the todays 
   that be
and all the tomorrows
   that shall be.
