The rising of the winds
Lifted on the sweetness
Of melodies within

Reflections of the reasons
The flowing of our lives
Shedding insecurities
Shedding each disguise

Our wings are fully open now
The time is drawing nigh
Our equinox approaches
Let’s take now to the sky

The haunting now replaced
In explosions of her music
Through the once forgotten place

The vivid red velvet
Of a redawning star
Once a time to remember
Forgotten still thus far

Born into wealth
Colliding within
Awakened refrains
Asleep in the din

Beginnings of nothing
New strawberry haze
Lost in her revolt
And lost in heaven’s gaze

A phrase holds on
It rises and rides through the seasons
Filed away, it fills, instills, chills, simmers

Echoes of a slight suggestion
Build in the background of a quiet mind
Until the chaos writhes
And breaks through the winsome din

It was but one simple phrase
Several years left behind
A lone sliver of paper
The words still on my mind

Releasing hidden hopes
Sharing a heart’s slim beat
Grasp at love’s retreat

Dive into an instant
Where free-falling sorrows mete
The boundaries of today
Melding in the fray

Why not risk it all…
For the chance at even more?
Brave the song’s bright call
The words on tomorrow’s door

Lost in metered colors
Surrendered to the fall
Be the you that beckons
Hear the song’s bright call

Waiting for your hand
Dancing in the silence
A lost and broken man

I gladly fell asleep
Denied the rising tide
Waited on the shore
For the moment you’d arrive

I changed my whole vibration
To be in tune with you
Hoping for a moment
When you would see the truth

I risked my life on chances
Forgot forever’s way
For just one final dance
Just to hear you say…

One word…

Yes.

Then let me be set free
Help me to release my oppressors
And see the truth in me

Let me be healed
Of all that holds me down
Reveal to me the life that’s mine
As I don the gilded crown

Open now my eyes
To perfection that awaits
Show to me the way
Of Love’s now open gates

Only in darkness do I not see
Love forgives and shows the way
Reveals your heart to me

Where do I turn but to you? Only you can fill this empty space that is all I now know. Madness is on my only seen horizon. Take me to that place I have forgotten. Take me to the only place that heals.

A chance to find hope
The dawn of awareness
The spawning of grace

Dark days of sadness
Of sorrows and pain
Revisited softly
Explosive refrains

Transcendent madness
In rays of green light
Reflected in wonder
From soft glowing eyes

Of your captivating dance
Moved by the feel
Of your soft surrender
Awakened in the call
Of your beating heart
Lit by the flame
Of passion’s new beckoning

You, my goddess, my strength
Fill me
Assure me
Move me

Floating together
On reproaching tides
Encroaching madness
The warm, clear waters
Cleanse, flood, transport
Two willing souls
To the dawn of forever

Sweet destined lover
Bathe me in your grace
Join me in that place
Where dreams eternally rise
Where passions won’t subside
Where life meets you meets me
Where love never dwindles
Where love never dies

Moments of sensuous longing
Satisfied
In your glowing touch
In the dawning
Of us
