One Morning in June by Tara Brewer

Breathing the night air to keep my promise to you, to forget

The water is my motion to which I stay alive

Wind as the steady beating of my heart.

Earth is but a soft caress to my broken heart

Rain is my strength to withstand the pain

Summer brings the heat of the distance

Autumn blesses with the fresh breeze to awaken my soul from the darkness

The dead of winter numbs the burden and leaves nothing

Its snow cleansing away the fire of the forgotten memories

Ice replaces the cold and softens the pull upon the whispers of time.

Your early light pierces the fog of my desperation to remember the forgotten

The spring beckons me to remember the scent of vanilla and roses

To take me back to that morning in June.
