I Should be Still

Blessed by love and grace Held at the bosom that is Given freely by she, Who now and still Fills my cup And soothes my brow
I should be still
But the stars, and moonlit clouds Weep at your absence, And the promise of what might have been Are but whispers, rousing trees Spreading rumors of my weakness Among the shadows
The day you spurned my pledge I became afflicted by The space once held by you
In the aftermath As each twilight breeze murmured your name I held that space close
As she lavishes me with tenderness I respond in kind and in grateful earnest But my eyes steal wistful glances Towards the horizon of our yesterdays Wondering if a sliver of me Touches your mind, still As you have consumed my dreams
Still
Each night you come to me Filling my slumber with bliss I reach out in vain My fingertips tingle, anticipating The satisfaction residing in the small of your back But your tangibility dissolves into morning mist Leaving me with the same questions
As I count my daily blessings And as I cry out nightly In silent anguish and muted agony On these nights when the wind is still I wonder if you still Feel me feeling you.
