Lost Soul

How can I ever find you?
Deep in my heart
Somewhere you sleep
Under the waves and the cold and the salt
Of my tears - they have covered you.
Sleep.

My life was invested
With the thoughts of your mind
How I cherished the moments
You smiled - rare and kind.
But I lost you. How far you fell between
The chasms of our dreams.

Where have you gone?
I've searched to the heavens,
And deeper, to the darkness of the gray
And burning caverns of my soul
How I've looked for you
In hours of lengthening sorrow.

But you won't be found.
I know that it's true -
A truth I must leave you
To sleep or to scream
Lost in the hellish and heavenly dreams
Of your own.

Your time was a gift.
Your life was a light
When it lived without fear
When you spoke,
When you saw with clear sight.

Sometime I knew you
I cannot doubt it; I know.
I know that I knew you
Somehow I knew you
And loved you so.

Sleep beneath the oceans
Sleep beneath the waters
Sleep deep, breath deep,
In the sleep of my love.
In the care of my dreams.
