I Can't...Without You



A token flower from my garden grows
It has seen summer highs and winter lows
Through oceans of time it's splendor soars
To sleep...to wake...forever more
And with the passing of hours to years
A medley of sorrow...of joy...of fears
Perched so proudly with petals held high
Bathing in shanti exhaled by my sigh
So you too shall be still in the silence of our spring
Where wonder blooms from every living thing
Be content within the brilliance of blue
And know I can't breathe without You.
