Take Me Poem by Deborah Cromer

In the moonlit night, darkness caresses and quenches my thirsty skin
Moonbeams shine down, forming open doorways to welcome me in
Faithfully I follow the light, bathing myself in it's magic glow
I find myself lonely without you and have no other place I want to go
I play in the deep, dark, silent emptiness of the morning's hours
Extracting and filling my pockets with powder and star dust's powers
A magic land awaits for me, while other's peacefully sleep
I gather bags and bags of secret skipping stones, I will safely keep
Knowing a man once, who made rocks fly and on top of water dance
He had beautiful, strong legs holding true to form, in amazing stance
His fingers connected to the most warm and workable, loving hands
Making gifts of love with meaning that truly, always stands
With reason we joined together our souls, forming to become as one
But now our journey is over, we are finished and we are done
The moon now calls me louder, "come here, come here, be with me"
I must go, I suffer endlessly, send wishes to angels to set me free
Butterfly ladies gather, forming a circle, holding hands all around
They hum and flutter, creating energy, they lift me up off the ground
Beauty and peace, not far from reach, memories of priceless dreams
I have been without you and your touch forever, I'm dying as it seems
To have life back, I feel it is soon to be my time to somehow fly
Up, up and away we go, away from this place, time to say good-bye
I miss you, I have missed you and you do not even have to care
Leaving time is near, my friends with wings will take me into the air
