A Part Not Apart

In the early morning hour

When awakening clears away

The mist of sleep inside my mind

Your image is there again

Immersed in life's tyrant demands

Enslaved by daily routine

Held captive by one thousand tasks

Your face is all I see

Time with you so fleeting

We're called away too soon

Left only wanting healing

Of the touch and feel of you

Grasping for single connection

Just one tie to what WE are

Lasting perfect perfection

Becomes the beating of my heart

No longer my own will heeding

No more my self to please

Beginning of the needing

Surrenders life to all your needs

Your blood carries my essence

Inside your veins I flow

Your heart pumps luminesence

This love's light will only grow

My breath carries your breathing

Becoming erat spiritus vitae

Reassuring my whole being 

This love's light is here to stay

More powerful than miles

Distance holds no sway

More real than time spent waiting

On one more ethereal day.

When questions come to haunt you

When doubts arise to fight

They hold NO sway nor the games they play

Because we share one heart tonight
