Someday

No struggling wistful hours

No intercepting threshold

With you the loadstar of a meandering

Life through starlit nights and seasons cold

I keep diving hard into sea of words

Yet fail to catch my breath

As they slip off over the net of shyness

As I so much want to profess

That the acorn tree where you first met me

Has been whispering ever since

You two are the lost part of each other

And someday you shall meet

The silver sheen of your bated breath

Will mist and melt the lost years

With each other we will touch like you did

In the living dream my heart steers

I’ve felt you in the colors of flowers

Seen you in the shape of clouds

My nights have been filled with dreams

Those memories of shared life arouse

Will you, I wonder, like in dreams

Wrap your arms, like a cozy sheet,

Around the one whose life is only you

On the blessed day we meet

Hesitate if you even for a moment in thoughts

Wondering if I can sense but not see

The person who is beneath the words

Those have flown over seas to me  

Will you then just hold out your hand?

I will in tight embrace see it melt

And look at you, assuage

The aggravated thirst we’ve felt

And hold your hands forever

And show you all the lonely walks

In bloom, in dog days, in fall across

As gushing streams over hope stalks

We’ll walk through ripening summer breeze

Into the mellow autumn’s rustling wind

And then in freshly fallen snow I’ll show

How I stood wherever I thought I glimpsed

A make believe footprint of you

With closed eyes and a fervent prayer

To tell you we’re one, not two

For it is a one soul we do share

There is just one footprint we would make

As I’ll hold you, treasure you, lift you above

 Two souls entwined, coalesced, merged

In a single seam of love.
