In the End, We Begin

In my last breath a symphony
will swell and all the world
shall know I loved you well
and long as the years without you, true
as the stillness in winter’s starry sky.

Though I speak it not, know I’ve held
these things, treasure that you are, deep
within, where all thought is but a pulse
quickening, where speech and sound
dissolve into the hum of an oceanic sky.

My soul sings and believes still
in heaven’s distant home rising
beneath the missing you inside of me.
We will rest one day in the other’s
arms, fly beyond blue field of separation.

Then with flaming sword of purest hope
we shall pierce this emptiness through.
And you will see me for who I am,
and we will stomp our feet in joy
and laugh and never cry again.
