Technicolor Dream - a poem

Technicolor Dream

You smiled and my spirit awoke in technicolor dream
The possibilities, you said,
Are the butterflies swirling and a thousand tones whirling

And I, you said, I am here, love, always
Listen as the waves crash against the wedge
Be still as snails journey across sidewalks

And I, you said, I am here in all ways
As salt winds graze your face, for we are one
As the sun gives you rhythm, we are one

Did you think that I could leave you behind?
The gate is open, love, your heart is free
Take my hand, remember me

But my love, said I,
I kiss your salt winds, dance beneath your sun,
But I tremble before the gate, my love,
And fear how my heart can be without yours

Then, your hand cradled mine, spirit tears fell
And we, you said, we are one, we are free
Just remember, you're never without me

Yellow shells are glinting on opaque sands
Lapis lazuli swells are echoing
My love, search within and be free with me
