Two Years, Two Hundred and Seventy Days Since

Somewhere beyond the burdens, 

Beyond the rain showers of my tears

There is a meadow full of hope, 

Though long abandoned now for years...

Still, I'm headed there this morning, 

If I can only find my way…

Take a left when near the farthest star, 

Step back a thousand days...

Somewhere beyond this city…

Beyond the shadows of his face…

Past the measure of these moments, 

Lies a soft, forgiving place.

Somewhere beyond this sadness, 

Beyond all the hurtful sights…

There’s a light that shines the brightest, 

And all wrongs it can make right.

As that light shines on that meadow, 

I cannot help but gaze…

At the life that I once knew, 

As I step back a thousand days.

I dreamed of oceans again..
I'm not sure how I ended up here...
As I awoke to feel the coldness,
Of my relentless tears...

It all came back to me,
As if a flood was pouring down.
Surrounding me like him...
And in his love I was left to drown.

Where the dark waves brush against the cliffs,
Tempting me to risk it all...
To run and jump and not look down,
To take my time and enjoy the fall.

I saw the house there by the sands,
And his hand reaching out to me,
I found him then, but could not hold..
Such a faded memory...
