promise

here's a drafted unfinished piece from 4/12/08 1:28 PM

i was inspired beyond the possibility of language
with each breath
i knew to take my deepest
inhaling in hopes to remember more
and an exhale to leave behind the bittersweet
and in passion i held it in
in hopes of prolonging the moment

...but the temporary state of my fleeting present
as it slipped to my past
and the future came too soon

i found sudden peace in his promises
that forever was nothing to fear at all
and pain was nothing more than a stutter
in beautiful song
i could still hear his melodic love
passing through me like a song

i couldn't remember the words
but my heart was in it

even through heartache
he still beat through my veins
i could still hear his melody
and it pulsed my heart back into one
strengthened by faith
strengthened by promise

a night left freely open to the darkness
only to prove that i could shine through like the stars
so i used the constellations
as my only constant
i followed their messages when i was lost
tired and weary
but i could never forget their shine
pushing me forward
and awakening to each new day
with a hope

of his promise of forever

and i knew i was never afraid.

i promised to love him forever
we began our journey from infinity
and counted backwards toward the end of days

aaahhhh blahblahblah
