Transformation How can you be?
I thought you were a dream.
And the shock of finding you real
In all the world's great multitudes
Has changed my life
Forever.
I thought I made you up
To keep my heart beating,
To give my soul false hopes,
And a reason to keep on looking,
Even though finding you
Never.
But then there you were,
Your bright-burning flame
Illuminating all my darkness,
Exposing all of my delusions which
I care not now to
Recover.
I find myself inspired
To reach out and to seach within,
To overcome yesterday's limits,
And hope that when we reach tomorrow,
We may spend our lives
Together.
by Dyn Llwyn - 2 October 2000 True Friend A person may have many friends,
and lovers by the score,
a dozen close aquaintences,
and companions even more,
But only very seldom does
someone come in your life
to stand beside you steadfastly
and aid you in your strife.
Who'll pick you up when you fall down
and warm you when you're chilled,
and when your heart is feeling drained,
with their love make you filled.
Who gives their love without regard
to filling their own needs,
and puts the utmost tenderness
in all their words and deeds.
No matter what the consequence
their friendship will stay true.
And I'm so grateful that I found
a friend like that in you.
by Dyn Llwyn - 7 August 2000 Trust Upon the crumbling cliff I perch,
a raging maelstrom at my feet,
that sunders me from my true love
and so I contemplate defeat.
I am a simple man of clay
forever seeking for the truth.
A lonely man upon a quest
to find the answer to his birth.
For all my life I've traveled here,
and gladly suffered hardship's toll
that I may come unto this place
and find the mate to my own soul.
On this side all is parched and sere,
a mighty desert deep and wide.
The earth lies split by giant's blow
to keep me from the other side.
I hungered for the distant plain
across the thundering vale so deep.
So near my eyes can plainly see
the bounty of that verdant sweep.
For there lives my own heart's desire,
across the miles I heard her call,
the one who's soul and mine are matched,
and for who's love I'd give my all.
The rocky gorge seemed far to shear
to risk a crossing to my goal,
yet I must try to span the gap
else never would my heart be whole.
For long I searched the jagged cut
that torn my world and hers apart.
But each time all our hopes would fail,
and constant torment tore my heart.
There is no way to brave the break
or cross the churning storm below,
except to change my fear to faith:
at last this truth I came to know.
Upon the crumbling cliff I perch
with fervent prayer, I close my eye.
With trust in transformation's truth,
I spread my wings and start to fly.
by Dyn Llwyn - 28 July 2000 Vision I never had a reason
to feel the way I do,
until just like a love-bird
into my life you flew.
From then until this moment
the world all shifted hue,
and my life became golden
where it was always blue.
An earth-shaking upheaval
and such a joyous coup,
freed my soul in an instant,
and your heart felt it, too.
For weeks we simply marveled
at our pure love, so new;
the more we knew each other,
the more vibrant it grew.
But days of bliss were numbered,
and those of ease were few;
so soon the trials fate sent us
came falling from the queue.
Since then, our plans were shaken,
and much has gone askew,
our futures didn't happen
the way we wished them to.
But even through the hard times
my heart has remained true,
for I have had a vision
that helped to see me through.
From the first day I met you
was this one Truth I knew:
however long my life lasts,
I always will love you.
by Dyn Llwyn - 10 October 2000 Wistful I sigh for she smiled at me
just for a moment
while in conversation
could it be she knows
what she still does to me?
Each time we manage to talk,
moths flutter within,
yet my soul is joyful,
basking in the warmth
that flows from her presence.
The sun cannot match her smile,
nor birdsongs her laugh.
The sparkling joy she brings
brightens the night-time
and eases every day.
She shines while walking dark roads
that wear at the soul.
Her light keeps her going,
barely sensing that
I am there by her side.
I pray one day she will see
I'd always been there,
and loving her truly
had always believed
together we should be.
Then she might reclaim the love
that was always hers,
and in each other's arms
at last become one
discovering Love's gifts.
by Dyn Llwyn - 17 October 2000 Words I heard some words the other night
I prayed I'd never hear.
Of all the words you could have said
These only did I fear.
I've waited Oh, so long for you,
And prayed so patiently.
I kept alive the dream our love
Was someday meant to be.
For so long were we kept apart
By life's blind happenstance
Until at last it was too late;
I wish we'd had a chance.
But someone came into your life
To help your heart to cope,
And from that grew the tenderness
That banished all my hope.
It took the light away from me,
And made my future grim,
For you say now that he loves you,
And you're in love with him.
To hear those words cut like a knife
That ripped me to the core.
I fear my heart can't take the pain
It's feeling anymore.
But I've survived so much in life
And gotten by 'til now,
I know that I will find the strength
To live again, somehow.
So don't regret the words you said,
Or worry 'cause I cried;
I never will stop loving you,
It's just the dream has died.
Dyn Llwyn 19 October 2000 YOU Just thinking of you makes me smile, my eyes shine when I hear your name; the lilting of your laughing voice can put sweet nightingales to shame. I reminisce about the times
that we had talked until the sky
had wheeled past night's middle-hour
and love did bloom as time flew by.
The tides of heart may rise or fall,
but true soulmates we'll always be,
just like the sky does kiss the waves
upon the ever-present sea.
Of all the pleasures of the world,
no joy can ever quite compare
to just the thought of you with me
and days to come that we might share.
The knowledge of the lives we've had
and those ahead all spent with you,
give comfort that there'll come a day
when all we've hoped for will be true.
For I have faith the day will dawn
when fate will give another chance,
then I shall take you by the hand
and we will share the final dance.
