I Surrender

Blue as ice
Melting into sea
Thoughts of you becoming a part of me
Waves of doubt
Turning with the tide
Inside out and starting to break inside
Water falling out of silence deep enough to drown
Lifting up my eyes, I see the sky come down
I surrender all my feelings
All that I remember of October rain
All the ways I tried to keep you
All the ways that you remain
Soft as night
Quiet as the air
Turn around as if there were something there
Sound unseen
Far beyond the blue
Just a trace of nothing replacing you
Beautiful and empty as a picture of the moon
Something you were reaching for is gone too soon
I surrender all my feelings
All that I remember of October rain
All the ways I tried to keep you
All the ways that you remain
Free of time
Drifting into space
Leave the past enter a better place
One more time
Innocent and true
Close my eyes let me return to you
Luminous and fragile as the memory of a kiss
Bittersweet with longing to let go of this
I surrender all my feelings
All that I remember of October rain
All the ways I tried to keep you
All the ways that you remain
