Take me to that place
the shelter from this storm
Gratitude mimics need as I try to find space
Somewhere in the mist my walk becomes a chase
I search for you by the pine and pebbles as my thoughts swarm
Take me to that place
I lose my breath as bells chime and my heart keeps pace
Wilted petals dropped by the shore, I sigh as landscapes transform
Gratitude mimics need as I try to find space
The sky begins to clear as our history I retrace
back to the days when we were content not to conform
Take me to that place
Wanting what I can’t have, such is the case
This wayward soul can not reform
Gratitude mimics need as I try to find space
In my final hours, I see your face
Breathtaking visions dance and form
Take me to that place
Gratitude mimics need as I fill this empty space

Writing and Reflections 
Gratitude mimics need as I try to find space
One can be lost in times when space gets reduced causing pressure and stress!

As I was reading, I couldn’t help but think how much more poetic yours is compared to mine. Well done on the description of the world around as the relationship evolves, or the memories do.
The twist at the end works well.
Brava!

Oh no! We each write our own thoughts – never compare. Your words are lovely!

I didn’t say my words were not worthy too, just that yours are more poetic 😄
We all write how and what we need to. That’s one of the things I like about this challenge, is sharing each other’s work 😊
