His Whisper Led Me Home

Oh keeper of my heart's beating rhyme
For which I long for 
With every ounce of electricity
Stimulating the rhythmic pattern of light
Shining from each crevice of my fragile soul

Split in half from the ages ago 
When the illumination from the sky came raining down
Tumbling past each and every sparkle of the notion
Of two chasers of the light encompassed into one
Stumbling upon the earth in every which way 
The wind blowing to the sound of a lyrical flight
For which my ears rang such a song

And in my dreams I was but consciously aware
Of a child entranced by a sight of a figure 
That my heart was calling in a distant delight
And when the shower would part from the familiar wake

While despite the flowing and the tragic affair
I was but no one's as for always there was more
To the astounding memory of a set of eyes
Which spoke but a reminder to the unspeakable truth
Speaking through the wind in the trees
Waking me with the sun's shattering splendor
Tumbling from the sky, a soul dancing in the dark

The lullaby that once sang me to sleep
Through the constant searching of the heart
To the falling to the knees in prayer for longing
And then once eyes opened with the subtle recognition
That confronted with the figure of the being
The longing of a child's heart suddenly apparent in the present time

Upon the whisper of the hearts calling 
Sparking into the majesty of the flesh now colliding
Past the very depths, unstoppable, unbroken
Flying through the sky while engaged in basking delight
The reuniting of destiny's pleasure, flutes delighting in a distant shore

And as my body stumbles past the present's wake
Into a dreams lulling in tune with the rhyme
And the shattering of earth may stumble my bones
But his love and our one light 
Simultaneous as one dazzling splendor
For, forever I shall remain.
