What of the permanency of sound
Outward and upward and beyond
Traveling but never dissipating
Such are the wonders of eternity
To think, perchance to ponder
Lost in never-ending wonderment
Every word we’ve spoken aloud
Somewhere in the vast expanse
Sometimes I listen to the night skies
To some, each echo a passing whisper
Secrets shared in the darkest of night
Sounds of passion and conversation
Natural curiosity raises inquiry
What of thought and dreams
Tied to some type of sound
How shall I listen to that great mystery
I listen for complete recollection
Each time the song more beautiful
My mind’s eye taking photographs
Precious reminders of every moment
Memories of a lifetime of loving you
Loving you across space and time
Lifetimes listening for your voice
For you and none other my dearest
Lest you start to worry; I bid you peace
For no one else has such a connection
Verses of love are reserved for lovers
Protected on high by the moon and stars
Tis the will of the Goddesses; Ishtar and Venus
Freya, Branwen, and Hera do approve
Radha, Parvarti, Juno, and Aphrodite too
Love always ascends to the highest ground
Fret not, for we two are not yet alone
Other lovers whose souls are connected
They hear the words meant only for them
Embracing the noise of their love affair
I listen for what life has yet to become
Your sweetest dreams and ambitions
Certainly we shall realize them together
All in due time my love, just as it should be
Philosophers speak of a predetermined life
Each action somehow planned somewhere
Believing out future is preordained
But none speak of the whispering skies
Some men seek thought before love
Logic taking place before deeds of the heart
Lost to those souls are all things beautiful
Such as a simple smile from a fair maiden
And feeling matters little; and yet it should
For feelings are first, and second, and forever
And that which says understanding more
Can be expressed in a closely guarded smile
As the hours pass and the horizon brightens
The final curtain call of a splendid evening
Circumstances dictate a distance between us
Those sweet memories will have to fill in
Soon slumber will overtake my thinking
My mind lingering on every moment of our lives
As I finally surrender to a brief period of rest
Each second filled with the love of a lifetime
