Distance separates lovers and friendsJourney of destiny and of strive
One of tacit, for the silent speaker
While exploration
Brings as joy of enlightenment
New discovery and awaking
Cold the heart goes when thoughts of love ones
Not seen, not heard from,
For a while comes to mind
On the starving feel of emotions need
Like a draught invasion on fertile land,
Quietly the heart cries for completeness find
Then a phone call out of the blue
Heard like ghost voice
Shock at first prompt it brings
Instance excitements
With joy to be had
Oh my darling I have missed you so
Lovely piece... you can feel the longing, the desire building like the crescendo of the bell... the excitement of the connection.
