Walk beside me a while, let me feel <br />Your presence; your absence surreal, <br />Often present; the lack of a presence <br />Now has past: the past, though is still present. <br />Bemused, my thoughts often take flight. <br /> <br />Walk beside me a while, I will see <br />Your lenghtening shadow melt into mine <br />The air we breathe fragrant with sweet delight: <br />We can speak and smile or sulk or sigh <br />The clouds will look down and sail right on by. <br /> <br />Walk beside me, let me feel again <br />The presence without the pain <br />Now that's what I call melancholic delight <br />You, your presence, your shadow, your voice <br />Befuddle my definitions of wrong and right. <br /> <br />Walk beside me, for a while, do <br />You can, you could and you surely can <br />Grant what I've asked you for so long <br />Just to make another memory or to write <br />These paltry lines into another paltry song. <br /> <br />Copyright: Rani Turton<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/walk-beside-me-a-while/
