Sunrise

Walking through our secret garden

I feel a million spirits soaring

Daring to fly

With the courage of butterflies

Knowing they were untouchable

In every way

I can see two souls

Touching for the first time

Two drops meeting

In the middle of an ocean

Never failing to appreciate

The privilege of

And impossible odds against

Having this moment

I know I have spent my entire life

Looking for you

And now that I have found you

I know that I would give up Heaven

To spend a lifetime in Hell

As long as I could share it with you



I know now

That a good man can end up in Hell

Because he fails to forgive himself

Can you imagine the magnitude

Of a life wasted?

Since I have known you

You have given me

The gift of seeing beauty

In the ordinariness of everyday life

You have shown me

The kindness of children

And given me the strength

To face the raging storm of my own doubt

Without surrendering to my fears

You have taught me

To hear music in the sunrise

And feel its nourishing light

To know the healing power of tears

And find redemption in a kiss

The ability to find

Peace at the Center





And now that I’ve been told

We can never be

I know not how to go on

No point in waking up in the morning

Purpose for each day

Gone by the wayside

Being friends betters not knowing you

But yet it is still so hard

To look in the eyes of an angel

To stare such radiant beauty in the face

And know that fate has not chose the destiny one had hoped for

Fate has made you a part of my life

And though maybe not in the role I may have chosen

A significant role it is nonetheless

And so life must still go on

Long after another day’s sunrise
