For Sam

I heard your cries before the pain appeared.

I wiped your tears before the fear came.

My soul was troubled at the thought of the news.

Didn’t know what to make of it, I thought it was the writing blues.

I sat all day with my heart dwelling with you,

Trying to pay these bills but my desire was only you.

It’s crazy how interconnected two people can be,

I’m half way around the world and you’re always with me, you are my Siamese.

Intuition doesn’t do justice what took place this rainy day.

Your heart was broken and that the atmosphere did display.

The heavens communicated what human beings couldn’t receive.

Now my heart aches for your peace and for it I’ll cross all seven seas.

Journeying by boat or this ship known as his temple,

I’ll fight a million battles until the war in your heart has been settled.

The heart tells a tale the soul longs to hear.

I wish somehow these words could comfort you…

Most of all I wish I was there.
