Adam's amazing voice has filled my head since Saturday morning, Time For Miracles playing over and over and over again in the back of my mind. And having now learned the origin of the song, I think it struck a chord, if not just for the sheer beauty of Adam's interpretation, then also for its incredibly moving history. I started to hum it - during everything I did this weekend (yes, even at the Supermarket and in the change room at my local Macy's) and inspiration came in the form below.

Thanks to Adam and the sharing of his incredible gift, I think he has reawakened the long-sleeping creative side of my brain! No comments necessary...unless you really want to. This is Without You.

I’m lying here, alone, it’s dark,
This bed is cold, can’t find that spark,
No warmth beside me, now you’ve gone away.
I miss your laugh; I miss your face,
The comfort of your strong embrace,
Sometimes it seems as though just yesterday
We said good-bye through veiled tears,
I was so scared; you’d faced your fears,
Though wearied, spirit in you full of fight.
But darkness came and settled in,
The truth was that we couldn’t win,
I held you close, prepared to meet the night.

One whispered breath, and then you slept,
I stepped away from promise kept,
I said that if you left, I wouldn’t cry.
When ragged moan escaped my chest,
I fought it back, I did my best,
But begged to God above to tell me why
And stumbling, fell to bended knee,
I set emotions finally free,
And cried those tears suppressed for far too long,
They rolled down my cheeks like rain
I’d never felt this kind of pain,
I wept for battle lost and love now gone.

And when I thought I’d worked it out,
I somehow found the need to shout,
“How dare you steal what was my very soul!”
My anger flared, I cried, “Why you?
With hopes and dreams; much left to do.”
I wondered if again I would be whole.
And then one day, a healing hand,
This gentle touch, by your command,
Caressed my wounded mind and dried my eyes.
You live within my beating heart,
Each breath I take of you impart,
Though life would end, the spirit never dies.

That’s when I found your legacy,
The light and love that set me free,
I sensed your presence close and somehow knew,
That seasons change and courses drift,
But you left me a cherished gift,
My life will be so rich because of you.
Twelve months of dawns, I can’t believe,
That you’ve been gone, and though I grieve,
I’ve taken time to measure out the cost,
I hoped we’d have eternity,
And though not how I thought it’d be,
The truth is that I’d rather loved and lost.

Hard journey took so much from you,
Those precious moments seemed too few;
Yet you lived life so full on borrowed time.
I saw your will, your dignity,
With courage you bestowed on me,
I know there is no mountain I can’t climb.
So when I wake to rising sun,
I’ll dream about the things we’ve done;
How different is this life that I possessed.
Those pictures fill my memory,
A smile returns because I see
My world, your love and spirit truly blessed.
