About a year ago

About a year ago
I had a vision of sage, sunlight & you
Seriously wondering what to do

About a year ago here
I let go, to start being me, finally
Walls crumbling down, so so gently

About a year ago here in
lies the peace & rest we needed so much
Natural forces connected, we reach out to touch

About a year ago here in my
eyes staring hard, you saw me deep inside
Hands extend beyond your will, we collide

About a year ago here in my new
home in nature, home, home at last
Welcoming arms embraced, forget the past

About a year ago here in my new home
I counted my blessings & fortunes built
Never found a love as good as yours to tilt

About a year ago here in my new home
I prayed of truth, seeking love, I surrendered so
you were my life, the imaginations let go

About a year ago here in my new home I
held you in my arms, pulling you closer in to me
Fully trusting that your heart was true, completely

About a year ago,
I allowed myself faith & courage, hopeful vents
to try one last time, for this one was different

About a year ago, I musta been dreaming
in my new mountain home, silent & alone
now I wonder why it has come to this bone

About a lifetime before this one,
You held my soul, only to release it into the sky,
when you got to know me & realized I could fly

About a decade of truth is all it takes,
Now the real pain begins, the loneliness sets in
cuz your no longer by my side

No use in remembering
the magical times we shared, besides
they only bring on the fear I try so hard to hide

About a year ago,
About a year ago,
About a year ago,
Wish you woulda thought this all thru

Next time,
stop, before you act
a lil bit of forethought is all it takes,
when there is another & so much at stake
