KATRINA'S VERSE

It almost seems we are intertwined
Something for me quite rare to find
I feel like we are so in tandem
I know that this is all but random

Time leaves it's shadow across the age
As I've kept my heart in a self imposed cage
It's hard to claim these feelings I own
When fear and pain are all I've known

Life was once the best of dreams
It feels there's nothing left it seems
Then a wistful thought of you and I realize
That all is no longer a sad disguise

A single heart beating half in time
Would be so full if you were mine
Hearts are made to share with one of fate
Without that lifes storms will never abate

From it's first beat it was to be shared
For a life of love and dreams to dare
To run away and prove the world wrong
To laugh to love; write life's love song

And to do so much more than just exist
To wake in your arms with each mornings mist
Throughout the years I watched my Grandparents love grow
That real deep love that most will never know

I suppose that's why I still truly believe
What finding "the one" can really achieve
After 55 years he would kiss her eyes as she went to sleep
Say to her "your so beautiful" and would almost weep

To find the heart that perfectly fits mine
I never thought would take all this time
For after years of lonely nights and rooms
My heart began to feel as a silent tomb

Then suddenly I feel like the blind who can see
As a peace so foreign takes it's hold on me
In daydream we gently embrace
And I can touch your beautiful face

I hold you close and we know we are one
Then feel that life for us has just begun
This is my soul now exposed and true
And I can only pray I am blessed with loving you     JBT For Katrina 08/10/2015
