Sonnet of the Night

Soneto De La Noche

When I die I want your hands upon my eyes.
I want the light and the wheat of your beloved hands to pass the freshness over me one more time.
I want to feel the gentleness that changed my destiny.
I want you live while I wait for you asleep.
I want your ears to still hear the wind.
I want you to smell the scent of the sea we both loved and to continue walking on the sand we both walked on.
I want all that I love to keep on living and you whom I loved and sang above all things to keep flowering in full bloom so that you can touch all that my love provides you so that my shawdo may pass through your hair; So that all may know the reason for my song.

Beautiful.
It's been weeks...and this song still feeds parts of my soul. Listen to it. Take it in. Meddle in it. Ponder it. Do whatever...I just ask that if not this piece of poetry, you find something that brings light into your world.
