What Shall I Write For You
What shall I write for you,
to make a still frame of this moment,
so the words that poured across my thoughts
when you looked at me in your way,
will be there when the memory fades.
What will I sing for you,
to unwrap the ringing in my heart,
so the harmony of souls
when your fingers danced in mine,
won't disappear into forgotten shadows.
Is there a way to collect this feeling,
in word or song, an instant!
When everything but poetry and music dissolve into nothing but faded mementos of you.
