The Romance of You and Me

I woke to see a frozen lake

Beneath a frozen sky,

And wondered if there was some mistake

That the great so early die.

I saw a living seer prepare to die

And felt when breathing stilled the spirit leave

Though to what sanctuary it did fly

Remains a mystery and still I grieve

For beauty lost to human sight,

The oneness souls have shared

Walking on the paths of light

With all their spirit bared.

I heard a laughter soft upon the ear

A voice that spoke from some eternity

"Go on boldly, what is there to fear

This world is the romance of you and me."
