The Message

I sat alone on a grassy knoll
Pondering perplexing prose of old
While breathing in the summers air
And giving up to God my cares

When suddenly a thought grew clear
That I wished not to sit alone here,
And thus was born into my lonely mind
The thought of love so radiantly divine

I wished to see her, I wished to know-
To listen to her life's story unfold
And gaze into her eyes so clear
To feel her heart beating warmly near

But where she was and her name so lovely
Were hidden with no known forthcoming
But her thought had gripped my heart, becoming
A part of me from which there was no running

And when I thought I could no longer wait
For her presence and this love to create
I saw in the distant horizon’s glare
A cloud approaching in the light-blue air

It travelled alone, like my current plight,
Yet soared so free in the sun's golden light
And in that moment I knew without doubt
That like me - in her future it would be found

So as it passed me by so high above
I gave it a message for my distant love,
That hope presses us towards a brand new dawn
And that forevermore in my heart she belongs
