At one time long ago, we stood on the beach as lovers do looking into each other's eyes. In the mists of your eyes..... I could see the hue of the oceans blue, and the beauty that surrounded us, but now I must look up in the sky........ There I will find you beyond the stars, gazing at the endless clouds, looking for God and asking why-- why was I taken from her arms so soon? knowing that you will always be in my heart, on my mind and on my lips I press on. Where the sky drifts into the sea, I will see you there, waving with a smile Leashed to your dusk of amber and amethyst awaiting my arrival.
