One Day
Some day
I'll take flight o'er the mountains
Look down on our beautiful sphere
Of forest and meadow, lake and river
I drink it all in, my eyes glistening with tears
For I shall never again enjoy this view
Time is precious, time I need to spend with you
This day
I'll choose a spot next to the ocean
Meet my soulmate on the shore
Drink in her beauty and lithesome grace
Hold her tightly as if it were our last embrace
Walk through the surf hand in hand
As though alone in a faraway land
Another day
Granted to unleash our spirituality
To enjoy this world, the air we breathe
With this soulful creature within reach
On a desolate stretch of beach
Bloodied sunset spills across the bay
Me and my love one fine day
Just one more day
One day
I'll take flight o'er the mountains
Look down on our beautiful sphere
Of forest and meadow, lake and river
I drink it all in, my eyes glistening with tears
For I shall never again enjoy this view
Time is precious, time I need to spend with you
This day
I'll choose a spot next to the ocean
Meet my soulmate on the shore
Drink in her beauty and lithesome grace
Hold her tightly as if it were our last embrace
Walk through the surf hand in hand
As though alone in a faraway land
Another day
Granted to unleash our spirituality
To enjoy this world, the air we breathe
With this soulful creature within reach
On a desolate stretch of beach
Bloodied sunset spills across the bay
Me and my love one fine day
Just one more day
One day

Thank you HJ, I've tried to evoke a mood and sense of loss, as at the end of life, knowing things could have been different but acknowledging that time has run out and 'that ship has sailed' as they say.

I like all the nature references in it too. The poem has sadness, but also positivity I think - determination to appreciate the time you have.

Thank you WP, there is positives in this; the joy and wonderment of our beautiful planet and being at peace as you transition from this part of your life to the next. Thankful for each day.
