Today Is Not So Far Away - Hannah Peel

Winds blow in different shapes

Shaping my trail for you

Down the long line of verge

Deeper the urge it grew

Hands shaped in swan like necks

You kiss mine so elegantly

Shapes shift and blow so fast

Faintly I hear you laugh

Today is not so far away, today

We ran through clouds of dust

A mist of sunlit seeds

The grass surrounds our feet

That smell it never leaves

I closed my eyes last night

So long and hard they ached

To look and see the shape the day we laid

Today I’ll wear that coat and stay

Today

Today I’ll wear that coat and stay

Today is not so far away.

Today you held my hand and played

Today is not so far away
