A new sound

Floating through the waters of remembrance 
I lose track of time
Sailing these everlasting waters 
Alone in my quarters 

My breath is deep and heavy 
As I move through my tears 
Holding on to the longing 
Of having you near 

I feel your touch 
Like a phantom on my skin 
I feel the surrender 
Your touch used to bring 
Singing our song together 
Of eternal love 

My heart trembles 
My body shakes 
My voice quivers 
As the illusion breaks 

Leaving these waters 
I find solid ground 
I build a new reality 
I create a new sound
