I'll find you with the moon

We watched the diamonds in the night

laid there till after noon

you said you'd reach into the morning sky

and bring me back the moon

I laughed because it sounded odd

you smiled, said you would

I shrugged it off with just a nod

but I knew I was yours for good

you brought joy into my life

the kind I'd never known

when you asked if I would be your wife

I thought I’d never be alone

then one day, you kissed my cheek

said have a lovely day

and that's the last I'd hear you speak

before you went away

I fell apart, I couldn't breathe

I drowned in misery

and sinking in the depths of grief

I found you living in my poetry

and so here I sit, day and night

paper, pen in hand

and try to find you as I write

in the promised land

I fear the day I run out of words

or catch a writer's block

every day, I pray to the Lord

to speed up my ticking clock

we'll meet again when I die

on my last lonely afternoon

I’ll reach into the morning sky

and find you with the moon
