SOUL OF STONE
For when you are no longer here,
I am forging a soul of stone,
an awakening in the half-light,
sheltering my fear in oblivion.
For when you are no longer here,
I am silently clearing an equation,
dispelling my anguish with your calm,
sensing a void in the morning.
And when I no longer feel your presence,
I will have invented serenity for my restless spirit.
I will seek your embrace among the rocks
and begin to dream of you
in the world where you are no longer in.
