Somersault
By Tetay
There you go again with your witty remark!
Just one phrase and it’s enough
to get me through the waking hours
and through the lengthy days and nights,
through the ups and downs, and the turmoil of life.
Say it again! Utter the words only heaven can conjure.
Send me whisking off into far away lands,
on powder-white clouds, and valleys green,
above snow-capped hills, and to lands unseen…
and known to only you and me alone.
One word and my heart flips.
One song and my heart leaps with joy,
going crazy over the melody of you,
doing somersaults in such a frenzy
that I miss the fact that you are elsewhere.
One moment here and then you’re gone the next!
Unpredictable, and so it goes…
that I did not predict how deeply I will fall
or how easy I cringe, and hurt and cry,
and afterwards just force it into inexistence.
I am but a voyager traveling through.
Just a soldier, strengthened by the battles fought
for you, against you, with you,
and just as I reach my journey’s end
I understand that you are not here, however still near.
You’re just a tune in my mind, a wind breezing by.
You are what evokes my soul, stirs my thoughts,
casts the doubts away and locks up my fears,
awakens my dreams, but makes me realize
that still, a dream is just a dream.
