Forever Moor

Today, I decided 
it was time
I fought, I negotiated
I weighed the pain 
thought better to cry 
than have you leave me
but I lost my feet to cement

Please, understand
I must live
and you must go
to chase the dandelion wisps
as the breeze tosses them 
across the great lawn

Today, my love
I packed you away
but in my memory 
you’ll remain

Though we may live 
a world apart
you’ll forever be 
in my heart

It was you 
who gave me courage
to face the light once more
knowing the heavens
will open another door

Fly free, my love
wings over the eternal moor
