Without the tears
Each time I touch you
I long to see your joy
And not feel your sorrow
Every time I draw near
Once
We met in a garden
In the cool of the day
And walked
And laughed
And loved
I want to speak
Gentle words and
Throw away my angry men
Spilling rage and
Warning words and
Dire threats
Once
We talked in a garden
In the cool of the day
Devoted lovers
Sharing secrets
Cherishing communion
I want to stop time
Stay the passing
Of minutes, hours and days
Lest you forget forever
What life was like
When you loved me
Once
There was only me
And my voice
And my presence
To fill your days
And flood your heart
I want to stop
The past between us
Forever staining the future
I want to stop
The future we will share
Forever following the path of the past
Once more
We will meet
No garden rendezvous
No mystery, no majesty
But skin to skin
I will be Immanuel
Inspired by Amos 9:5 "The Lord, the LORD Almighty, he who touches the earth and it melts, and all who live in it mourn..."
