The Journey Within
I drew a charcoal rendering
of your face
on the cave wall of my mind
You were taken from me long ago
I visit this cave when I am asleep
When the world is still and I am alone
and I crawl into my mind's lonely realm
I carry a lantern
burning from memories of you
To light the way to the jewels of our days
and poetic parchments I gave to your heart
containing the written words of our love
Here in the shadows, I cry each night
beneath my charcoal rendering
drawn from memory
When you vanished from Earth, you merged with my soul
remembering the days we had
I raise my lantern as high as I need
I'll stay as long as I can,
So I may see your face once again
