Earth tears at my heaven
steals precious moments of grace
if summer relented
and warmth fade from me
I'd grasp for a glimpse of your face

In seeing this beauty
find peace in my soul
stop climbing the hills in my mind
precious and few become moments of you
seems for giving there is so little time

Always forgiving myself
in these rhymes
gifts really of myself for you
if they bring love or tears to your eyes
I fear that they're gone all too soon

They may fill up your soul or pull at your heart
but can't replace how you feel in my arms
which feel so secure
give peace to your heart
offer love and keep you from harm

What I would give for your presence
instead of my dreams yet unfulfilled
love gives us so much
seems life takes away
the time we need just to kill
