My _____, my Love Mate

I Look and look, but see you not In the forest mist .

Nor do I find you in the lake's reflextion.

Tears have covered my cheaks

I strain to see accross the distance and time that keeping us apart

And than tired exhausted, and hopeless, I stop searching.

But late at night As I hug the bed's pillow

I find your head next to mine

You whisper our secrets. We embrace and sigh,

Bathe in sweetness Smile warmth in each other's eye.

Our hearts singing, Our Spirit lighted Floats obove the land.

We reach the heavens and die.

And in the morning I search again,

_____ Across the land's distance And the bright blue sky.
