When the world stops

When the world stops

The coffee cup grows cold slowly in my hand
Whilst I, distracted, think on you.
Then the world surrounding me
Stops
And I lose myself in fading remembrances
My heart is warmed
And I am slowly lifted
Out of the darkness
That I have built around me
Since you left.
And when I turn back to reality
I know you are with me
Within
And I am whole.

There lies my heart

There lies my heart

There where the grey mountain
Holds its head against the sky
There lies my heart in joy

There where the wanton sea
Its waves against the rocks does break
There lies my heart in joy

There where the green Earth
Its face in the Sun does bare
There lies my heart in joy

There where the salt laden air
Assaults my breath
There lies my heart in joy

There where the city lights
In the sky like stars does shine
There lies my heart in joy
