Breathing Again

Soft blue, all around
sun dazzling in the sky
Where is this place, I have found
with soft grass on which I lie

As i sit myself up and breathe in deep
I take in the sweet smell of new life
My heart feels lighter then its ever been
someone's wiped away the strife

Of dreams not reached, heartaches many
my soul aching with each blow
The strife of perhaps a separate life
seems so far away, so long ago

No, I won't let my mind wander there
I happily embrace the sudden peace
The hope and joy and endless love
that lingers on the breeze

What is that sound, that splendid sound
floating to my ear
I close my eyes to concentrate
yes, i know the voice i hear

Then he's there beside me
sliding his hands into mine
I open my eyes and see his smile
and know all will be fine

No words are spoke yet I hear his voice
speaking to my soul
"Rest here with me, a little while
until its time to go."

I want to worry about having to leave
but my mind remains at ease
I lay my head upon his shoulder
as my heart floats in tranquility

It could've been days, years, centuries
that i remained in that state of bliss
Til suddenly, he hugged me close
and gave my cheek a kiss

I then awoke alone in bed
to singing birds and the morning glow
Had it all been just a dream, a sweet vision?
no, it'd all been real, I just know

My heart was still light, old pains gone
nothing left to fear
For I knew now, even when he's gone
to my heart he's always near.
