Dandelion seeds

The above poem has been incorporated into a song by my dear friend Daniel Anghede for his band Venus Principle

I awoke this morning
To the smallest whisper of your memory
The grey light in my eyes
Bringing your image just within my grasp
I closed them then, to the sorrow
All these many months I’ve tried to forget
Of knowing we are never returning
From an everlasting autumn
I fell asleep this evening
To an echo of your voice
The warm blackness behind my eyes
Bringing you just within my grasp
I struggled to hold onto a part of you
For fear you will never come whispering again
Knowing I awake to the eternal longing
For a never coming spring
