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
