Cyrano’s Apprentice

By Cal Evans

My life was drifting on the ocean,
The darkness all around fit like a glove,
Then I saw your face like a beacon,
I was saved by your undying love.

Your love is my anchor,
Your love is my rock,
Your love is the only thing that saves me.

Your love is my beacon,
Your love is my light,
It’s only through your love that I now see.

Now I have a course to follow,
I see with the light of the day,
Your love is always before me,
Lighting my world, showing the way.

Your love is my anchor,
Your love is my rock,
Your love is the only thing that saves me.

Your love is my beacon,
Your love is my light,
It’s only through your love that I now see.

It’s been many years since I first saw you,
I’ve followed your love for many a day,
You light shines brightly as ever,
Your love still shows me the way.

Your love is my anchor,
Your love is my rock,
Your love is the only thing that saves me.

Your love is my beacon,
Your love is my light,
It’s only through your love that I now see.

Winter descends on the landscape
stealing color and life
Blanketing my world with a uniform of dull and lifeless color.

A bright spot
Color in a hazy brown world.

A fountain
Shooting streams of life and light into the air.

My vision clears,
as the fountain approaches.

Light and color,
beauty and wisdom,
fuse into one
as my lover approaches.

Your love is like a priceless vase,
I treat it with care,
I put it on a pedestal,
I treasure it above all else,
because I know it is fragile,
and I would be worthless without it.

Mountains are formed,
But soon they crumble,
Glaciers will come and will go,
But out Love is as timeless as the Universe,
and as pure as the new fallen snow.

Silence in my world,
Silence in a world of cacophony,
Deafening silence as the world screams around me.

Slicing through the silence,
The most melodious sound,
A note of pure beauty.

It fills my ears,
It fills my soul,
It is the sound of my lovers voice.

My world is alive at the sound of her voice,
It creates order from chaos,
It brings beauty to the darkness.

Sing my beautiful songbird,
Let your beacon be my guide,
For without you my world is lost.

The heavenly rain echoes the tears of my heart,
knowing that we are apart.

The sun does not shine,
the winds blow cold,
as my world slowly revolves.

Afternoon approaches,
the sun in my world starts to shine,
my heart knows that soon we will be together again.

As my world revolves into night,
my heart leaps for joy,
at the time we spend together.

As it also starts to wan,
knowing that tomorrow,
it will rain again.

I search for meaning among the rubble,
the ideas that litter the streets of my life,
so much chaff in the concrete field,
where I plant my crops.

There, among the chrome trees,
life has taken hold,
I watch as it grows, waiting,
wondering which of my ideas have taken root.

An image begins to form,
growing stronger still,
I catch my breath at the beauty,
stark against the landscape of gray.

I watch as the visage takes form,
I smile as I begin to understand,
I rush to nurture this precious jewel,
my undying love for you.

Concentric Circles,
Our lives intermingled.
A Celtic knot,
Our love intertwined.
A Mobius strip,
You and I together.

We are separate,
as we are one.
Individuals,
as one being.
Separate parts,
that make up the whole.

Our love,
binds the universe together.
Our love,
makes us one.
Our love,
survives all.

It was your eyes that I first noticed.
It’s like they are two galaxies,
swimming in their own infinity.
They are the windows into your soul,
and yet works of art themselves.
The angels weep because they know they can never measure up.

On the surface,
they are what God meant when he said “beautiful”.
Each stolen glance, takes my breath away.
When they twinkle my heart leaps,
and when they tear, it’s like a dagger through my soul.
But when they blink, time stops for that instant.

I Think the thing I love the most,
is when I look deep within them,
I see love.
Oh sure, it was small at first,
but it has been growing since the first moment I saw them.
Words fail me as I try to describe it.
If you could measure eternity,
you still couldn’t measure the love I see, in your eyes.

As I gaze deeper, I see wisdom.
Solomon, in a stunning crystal vase.
It’s depths I cannot plumb,
and it’s breadth I cannot span,
I’ll have to be content to be contained in it, as I can’t contain it.

Most important of all though,
I see you and I together.
I see the love that we have shared,
and the lifetimes we have yet to live together.
I see your happiness, without which I do not exist.
When I look into your eyes, I see my future.

By Cal Evans

In a world where nothing is real,
Never doubt,
my love for you,
will last,
throughout the ages.
