Listening

Listening
Listening to the song I know
I listen for the voices of those I love
The voices of those gone away
The voices of the passed

I listen to the song that rings in my heart
The song that strings my mind out across time
The song that makes me feel like I am floating
The song that ends and begins with my footsteps
I listen for the song that clears my murky soul

I listen to the song that lets me know you are still here
I listen to the song and hope that you will come back
I listen to the song longing for your touch again
I listen to the song while I miss you

I long for you while I wait for my time to come
I long for us to be joined again in the sweet grass
I long to remember the good times we had
I long to always look forward to death at the end of my life

I listen to the song
The song makes me alive again
Just like you did in those days
The days when I could listen

I long for you
Only to realize that you are the song within me
The song that runs clear in my heart
The song that reminds me of you
