I climbed a mountain on this day

Through brush and rough terrain I steered 

& when I reached its peak 

There was nothing left I feared 

I peered over the landscape , such a story it could tell

And as I stared i felt a change in me that I didn’t know too well

Such an unfamiliar sight 

Looking out on the unknown 

Which direction ? Wrong or right ? 

No way to truly know

The wind it blew so freely , I could feel the fire in the sun

The plants dancing so swiftly , like something had begun 

The scurry sounds of life around you , yet nothing you could see

& as I sat upon the hill top , I thought of what you’d say to me 

I can feel you through the sky line

I close my eyes & there you are

It never would’ve been enough time

Life with out you , so bazaar 

Vast and empty are most spaces , like the places in my heart

Where we use to be , so simply , yet life tore us apart

But I feel you here , and there , and all the way around

When I gaze upon this life-filled place , I can hear your every sound

Your voice it echoes through the valley , laughter radiates the wind 

& although you aren’t around me , I can feel you here my friend .

I feel so close to heaven , I know you sense me here

I’ll settle for this sentiment of having you almost near

If I could touch the stars tonight , if I could hold your hand

I’d give anything with all my might for god to understand .

And though I wish we had you back , I know you had to go

But the world it’s not the same with out you , & I just thought you should know .
