The fire has burned down low I can hardly see your eyes But you gaze with a steady ease I can feel inside
Time drifts off into memories The quiet peace of lifetimes Compacted into one moment like this Where everything is right
And my heart follows you Wherever you happen to go As we fall into our web of dreams We will not be alone
As you rise by the fading light Your figure before me a familiarity I've grown accustomed to believing Is like my own
The distance between us ebbs As a tide moving back again And stirs the gentle, restless fluttering, still Of my heart from within
In the moment before you speak Before the words have found your lips I can feel them The tone and manner of their kiss
And you reach a hand toward me As a invitation to Endymion As a set of wings over vast seas "Will you follow me?"
And as I rise I sense the darkness is just a veil A sacred place for us to begin This life we've chosen together, hand in hand Where the fires will never dim

OK, I'll be the first to admit to ignorance here.... "As a invitation to Endymion"...... Help me on this phrase please! I'm admittedly completely in the dark as to where (or what) 'Endymion' is!!
Otherwise, a very strong message of devotion and 'oneness' with someone that is REALLY COOL!!! Welcome to Poet's Corner from the Sunshine State!!!
