September 4th

In a dream I held your beauty
Took my breath away as you laid peacefully in my arms
Vibrant colors lit the skies
As I watched you walk away
Towards the open road
We shared the last of our union
Time had come to place the memory upon the shelf
How can I ever put away the touch of Heaven?
Woke as day broke through the drawn curtain
Empty arms; a tear in my eye
As my mind rushed back when I found you forever sleeping
By the open barn door I found you
The embodiment of all that is pure and simple
Of all that is sacred in my life
Here I held you for the first and last time
September 4 will hold sorrow always in my heart
As I held you for the first and last time
I celebrate your life everyday
Heartbreak and love, I am reminded everyday
Why this life? A path you have paved for me
Towards the open road
One last glance back
Burned always within my soul
