Song of Separation

It's just a song I wrote. Would love your comments and suggestions to improve. If one thinks nothing of it, be honest.

Song of SeparationHere's a song I write to you sanely in love
I wanna write you fast and short
That my words may reach you sooner.
Whenever you feel our love's boat in rough weather,
Think that it's just a passing storm;
That the serene season isn't far.

Yeah this is my song I write to you sanely love.
I close my eyes to see you laugh.
I whisper the words you ever wanna hear.
I say them over and over that you may hear.

Here's that song I write to you sanely in love.
When I think that you belong to time and place another,
Or that I know nothing of your thoughts,
I feel a tinge of envy not part of love,
Or is that what they call love?
This is my song I write to you sanely in love.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.

Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
