MUSINGS

WORDS [BY Jem.]



UNTITLED

I didn't know it when you where there,
I didn't know it when it was right in front of me.

Could I have reached out and held it?
Could I have reached out and felt the warmth of your skin?
Would I have done it had I known?

Surely it's not just in my head,
but the more I think the stronger it gets.
Surely my heart speaks the truth.

Your spell was cast,
it feel upon me that night.
Possibly I did not feel,
for my heart was numb with your presence.

Slowly it comes back to me,
the conversation we had.
But like a scratched CD,
it's jumping around in my head.

Because it's too good to be true,
what I am remembering of our converse.
You speak softly of the freedom my heart desires.

Surely it's not just in my head,
but the more I think the stronger it gets.
Surely my heart speaks the truth.

I dreamt of a time, a memory, a life.
Two souls of the wind,
bourne of the sea.
Roaming this land and beyond.

Love was the drive; connection with earth, community and the other.
Creation was the gift; harmonies, rythums and movements.
Expression of the soul, creation of life.


Surely it's not just in my head,
but the more I think the stronger it gets.
Surely my heart seeks truth.


As I tread the earth I search the heavens.
I hear the calling of the stars,
I see the first twinkle of night,
I make a wish, or possibly send an answered call.


Are you as alone as I?
Are you biding the time?
Was that your spirit which called for mine,
the star a messenger of hope?


Surely it's not just in my head,
but the more I think the stronger it gets.
How can I conspire a love,
so strong and pure of soul?

Surely my heart aches the truth.


Could I have reached out and held it?
Could I have reached out and felt the warmth of your skin?
Would I have done it had I known?
