Many a night, drifting fires in heaven, glow without end
Yielding untouchable  sprays of knowing glory
Returning light for this world to spend
Passing hours weaving stories

What mankind hopes to become and see before him
Hold in his empty arms and ever aching *******
Can be seen in a spray that never dims
Born in minds that will not rest

The very least of us chase these glowing sprays
Seeing what no other can trace
Casting seeking eyes, upward in praise
Tears of joy on their face

Many a night, drifting fires in heaven, ignite this soul of mine
I come to know their untouchable glory
Returning with this glow you find
Weaved in my stories

A cocoon of silk wraps the final breath of day
When feelings stir fantastically
Touching my dreams in mighty ways
Then softly clothing me

Deep flutters celebrate within the trees
Believing, blessings will abound
Wishing they could only feel like me
In this silken wrap, I have found

My spirit calls unto wings I once sealed away
In walls filled with ancient granite dust
When I myself, did betray
To walk upon this earthen crust

How close I view those clouds from here
Where I once flew so free
Above these trees that deeply flutter near
And this world that now holds me

The final breath of night will soon arrive
My cocoon of silk will float away
Shall I return to where I once derived
Or myself again betray

I thought I saw you as the shadow of my lover’s heart
In the hills where the seasons changed today
Waving gently in the wind, as if to impart
You were the one I look for, everyday

I thought I saw you in the purest flame, gazing back at me
Observing me there helpless in your stare
Yielding glances back at you, just hoping I would see
My lover’s heart, in the light flickering there

I looked for you in the rising tide and waited for its fall
Thought I saw you on the crest of a wave
Heard you in the echo of a lonesome seagulls call
Seeking out the mate, his heart craves

Scarcely did I turn away and stop looking everyplace
Every waking hour I found anew
I saw you looking back from the eyes of a face
I loved and already knew

Born with the sun knowing you well
In a field of passion
My love, you are a stream
I wish to swim
When you drift to me
In your tender flowing fashion
My heart leaps, from your banks
And gently skims

You blend into the land and fade into
A shimmering delight
I look away and still I find you there
Building a crescendo
As your waves reach my shore
The birds can still hear
In their night

Have you ever seen the night, hide from the sands of an hour glass
In hope, that he can return to his own beginning
Watched his tears falling, on all that he has
Thinking, it is now ending

Have you ever looked into the eyes of a never ending journey
Missing the sweet fragrance of his roses on the vine
Wishing to hear the laughter of his child at play
Afraid to stop, and call them mine

Did you ever look into the raging face of a firelight’s glow
Fighting mightily, to burn brighter than ever before
Consuming all that he sees, in a fiery show
Stare confused, at embers on his floor

Could you look upon a field, yielding regret and shame
Still seeing beauty in between its rows
Strike your very heart with the essence of a flame
Make you wish to see this beauty grow

If you have seen the night hiding from an hour glass
Looked into the eyes of a never ending journey
Watched a fire burn out, all that he has
In this field, you can see the beauty

If a message braves a lonely dawn then quietly departs
Filling your sky with the sweet honey of its sigh
Will you let the sun set in the western plain of your heart
Before you send this message your reply

Should you feel the soft touch of this sigh on your brow
Taste its honey at its finest on your lips
Will you hear this message in your here and now
Reply, before it once again, quietly slips

While the world is doubting, will your longing run deep
To hear this message breath a sigh of relief
Or will you hold your reply inside the plain where you keep
Your answer in your heart like a thief

Despite every bracing measure you take to not reply
This message will continue bravely on
Filling your sky with the sweet honey of its sigh
Until you respond to the lonely dawn

To one who’s name is written in the faint perfume upon my neck
Your hands gently tend my landscape with their caress
Each and every flower, you gracefully bedeck
In the richest warmth of your undress

You move your morning breezes into the darkness of my night
Until I no longer know the season or present year
Time is of no essence within my sight
Of warmth or cold, I have no fear

To one who’s name is written on every single line of my heart
In your ink flowing from the radiance of our eternal sun
Your hands tend my landscape in a world apart
Marked on a calendar of none

The cares of life, waft into silent pieces as they come to light
When your morning breeze moves upon my flowers
Each one you tend with your hand’s sight
Forgets these cares of ours

To one who’s name is written in my eyes as my master gardener
My flowers will always seek the ink flowing from our sun
My landscape will be your garden harbor
From your breezes, I will never run
