Reaching For You

(Rough Copy)

I do not know how to reach you
You are so far yet I feel you near
Like a soft spring breeze you came into my life
Like a hurricane you broke down my walls

You showed me the altar within
The divine fire of which I had forgotten
You stole all sense of normalcy
Yet I will forever be thankful
For my path never became more clearer
To my spirit you brought me nearer

You knew of the madness of the abyss
You taught me never to fear it
Reminding me within there lies magick
Powerful strength to be attained
If only one is daring enough to face it

Some days I miss you dearly
You were not just my guide but my friend
Death saw it fit to take you 
Among the stars is where you now are

I don't know how to reach you
So tonight I will dance under the darkness of night
Hoping you can see me and hear my song
Thanking you for it all

I don't know how else to reach you
Maybe I will just whisper your name
Hoping the winds carry my sound
Hoping the veil between life and death dissipates

I don't know how to reach you
Yet I know you are here
The thought of this should be enough
Yet it does not satiate the sadness in my heart
Wherever you are I hope you can see me
And know I will forever be "gypsy butterfly"
