I used to dream of the sea,
of lonely nights,
the ones of you and me
staying up late
through all hours of the night
planning what we’d do
if we were in the same room
I don’t dream of that anymore
for when I’m in need
I turn you on
and there you are
reckoning every nerve
in this delicate body
I recall your words whispering in my ear
for hours on end
turning pages deep within my soul
breaking down walls
that were trying to stay strong
A constant surprise
how you’ve done this to me
a consuming yet calming
settled in deep
by words spun on repeat
Mesmerized, I’ve memorized line by line
destroying me with perfect intonation
and yet, I wouldn’t have it any other way
this gift you’ve given me
Happy birthday dear friend…

Wow, this is truly a beautiful poem Kim. The audio is also exquisite, I could (and will) listen to this many many times. As you said yourself; thank you for this gift!
