Beyond the Clouds

These cloudy visions are all that is left
And a short wind will blow me away from here
Because, like you, I’m hanging on by only a breath
Awaiting eternity
And that which we hold dearest
Are but wishes among the many stars
Yet I open my eyes and there you are
Glowing like an angel from above
My darling, my precious angel dove
Rekindle what we once had in love
Fortitude and temperance
Courage and remembrance
Faith and circumstance
Passion and romance
And that which we hold dearest
Is that which we hold nearest
Nearest to you, nearest to me
And our love will always be
Awaiting eternity.
