FROM THAT DISTANT LAND
by M for V
by Julian Sands
The 30th anniversary of your birth is the marking of your gentle soul
You are a lily bud in the palm of my hand
Blink not - for you may disappear into the autumn air
​
Doing math in my head
I'm all shook up from head to toe
​
You and I are separated by time and space
Yet our heart bleeds effortlessly into one
​
My heart melts into yours
on that elevator ride up
Up and up we go
​
A moment in time marked by the bell ringer in the sky
​
Your brave spirit took a journey separated by land and sea
​
Echo of the wedding bell can be heard in my mind's eye
​
Forever true
​
Treacherous journey ahead just to test if our love is real or false
Scar tissue heals quickly
where the scent of your perfume is in the air
​
30 years for a birthday
50 years for a musical
​
Never miss a beat or a single night
​
There are numbers on a roulette table that spins round and round
​
Your brave spirit guided by destiny
​
The magic you seek
The magic we have
and the magic we cherish
​
Two hearts in one as we dance the night away
Tears running deep into the river bed
Gently flowing away into the sea
Joined by dolphins swimming against the tide
​
Laughter can be heard from the distant land
The spirit of our ancestors rejoicing in Heaven
​
On this first day of your birth....
On this first day of November
​
with so much to remember
​
30 years ago today
​
A cry of a newborn can be heard
From the distant land
