Cherish These Moments

Here I am now

A new tomorrow has begun

Gradually rising

I look towards an eastern sun

Bright light awakens

In my smothering darkness, so new

Exploring unfamiliars

The bearer of the light was you

Hello happiness

I've missed you, where have you been

I've felt this way

Dizzy bliss, I can't remember when

Thank you I say

To the great Universe that has blessed me

Wandering emotions

I'm so alive now and quite happy to be

Terracotta sunshine

Breathing warm life into my soul

Missing puzzle piece

Has come to fill the gaping hole

Slowly it's formed

There is my cloud with a silver lining

Ray of hope is you

In a blanket of rain you came through shining

Chorus:

On the wind

I ride

On my lips

A name

Cherish these moments, I do

As our lives

Collide

As we find

New fame

Bright star in my eyes is you

Erasing scars

I hide

Erasing all

My pain

Cherish these moments, I do

Funny...i don't have a date written on this poem but i can remember the fun filled night well that led to the writing of it.  It had to be written around 1989 or 1990 and it was spring. I remember someone picking a daffodil and giving it to me.
