If in the morning as you wake up
you find the world begins to sway...
I will be here
leap,
I'll land beside you
If the sun drags clouds past your dreams
and tucks its light behind the face of shadows...
I will be here
leap,
I'll land beside you
If as you walk to the place where you dare
and see only the morphing void before you...
I will be here
leap,
I'll land beside you
If a million voices claw at you
and yesterday has past you by...
I will be here
leap,
I'll land beside you
If as you sleep your demons torment
and peace has fallen from the throne...
I will be here
leap,
I'll land beside you
Because when I fell from everything
and my stars shattered on the floor
you
oh my Man...
you were there.
I leapt
you landed beside me.
~ for Matt, the man who leaps. I will be here. Miss you. Come home soon. I know you are reading this :)
What about you? Who was there? Have they shaped you?
Bah you always make me cry, especially knowing Matts away. You turn me into a big wet sop. I hope you're happy hehe :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Friend! You are so talented!
ReplyDeleteWoW How I loved this my dear! Oh yes... there is always someone to leap you- thank goddess!
ReplyDelete:)
Just a sec....there seems to be something in my eyes...
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Tab. So gentle and loving, so sweet. And I thought it was neat that you know he'll be reading it. I think you made eeryone who reads this this morning happy.
As for me? When I leap, I leap alone. To borrow from Joni Mitchell, it's the judgement of the moon and stars, my solitary path.
Oh, I just love that! So moving.
ReplyDeleteGod, my hubby, and my mom are always with me when I leap. :)
Mine is Russ. He is always here. Thank you.

ReplyDeletereading it, i thought, what lovely thoughts to be shared with someone you love...what love. beautiful and embracing
ReplyDeleteI love coming by here. That was beautiful. I'd say you and Matt are lucky to have found each other.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous poem! When I leap it's my husband that catches me. I love him for it.
ReplyDeleteLovely. Will not cry in public. Will NOT. *sniff*
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwwwww! Hope he's home soon.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Tab!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet. :-) I hope he reads it and loves it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I've had a leaper in my life, besides Jesus.
Beautiful poem! I liked the picture too. It made me want to run and leap off cliffs into snow banks as I used to do when I was a child.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Leap? My ballroom partner...who is always there. Who I incidentally did a blog post about today ;-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautifully written! xx
ReplyDeleteThe only thing better than being missed is coming home. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this!!! Hope that the one you wrote it for finds joy in your words!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this. So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteIncredibly, heart-achingly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTabitha, your posts break my heart, and I am willing (to quote mary oliver).
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Soulmates have covered my blind side for YEARS. It's interesting you posted this today as Pam is teaching our Bible study tonight since dufus here double-booked.
One of my life's greatest blessings is those who leap in front of me, then reach back, grab my hand, then cover me with their protection.
Sigh.........
Thankyou Sweetheart. I love you
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to be able to touch peoples emotions like that. I can hardly see through the tears! Very touching, well done, you're very talented.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Tab. My hub just called from San Diego...he always leaps beside me. As does Matt with you. Thanks for a happy tear drop!
ReplyDeleteOkay, this is going on my wall of awesome. It's fabulous! I hope to be that person for someone, someday. For me, it's my DH. <3
ReplyDeleteLove your post. For me, The Husband, always and forever.
