The truth he spoke came from twisted branches
Unlike sacred vows within a stormy sea
Departing from my sight with such abruptness
Until I knew that only he
Could set me free

My spirit searched blindly within my breast
For the truth he spoke to me
Knowing time had come to undress
All those twisted branches
In my sight I see

I yearn once again to hear the charm of his truth
To drown the vows of my stormy sea
A hundred times I would forsake my youth
From my sacred vows
I would flee

The truth he spoke drifted in as three words
Touching the very soul of me
Why did I let them leave my heart unheard
Knowing only his truth
Could set me free

All the flowers whisper in my ear, will you go with us
Give your heart and search for hope
Inside a crystal looking-glass
Scattering your blessings
As you cope

I kneel by the fountains of the world’s perfume
Where ancient wisdom is displayed to me
While celestial bodies above me loom
Gazing down at the flowers
Whispering free

Unconsciously, I follow the flowers to seek
The vapors of hope in the glass
Scattering blessings meek
In fragrant fountains
Belonging to us

The guardians of my hands watch over me now
From the shining stars of nature’s skies
Casting a vision which endows
A golden crown of glory
Above mine eyes

The child within is higher far than captures of beauty
Resting wild yet expressed in a dozen joys
Before night falls, you will find me
Here thrilling to all my
Youthful ploys

I wrap myself in a wish that smiles closely inside
Upon the lake of shadows in my soul
Above the inner child who hides
Within the hills and valleys
Down below

My sun-filled eyes I say have slept too long
In the gloom, time has placed me in
From a balcony, I hear a song
Youth still plays for me
Here within

I guard the inner child that lives within my soul
From the dark clouds that drift along
I keep her innocence whole
So that I will never
Lose her song

Your child within is higher far than captures of beauty
Keep her wrapped closely in your smiling ways
Do not keep her hidden in those valleys
Fill her eyes with sunshine
Let her play!

He tunes the bonds which hang on the mirror of the sea
Revealing deep meanings in the vaguest air
She likes to speak of him to me
When her day catches fire
And loses flair

She tells me of the good things he makes her feel
When he tunes the bonds up and down
Yet she wonders what is real
And if that mirror
Makes her world go round

Perfect joy she says he has shown her now
Seems that her cup runneth over
Yet as serenity takes a bow
Those deep meanings
Fail to hold her

She likes to speak of him to me on her cloudy days
I look through her eyes and see the truth
She tunes the bonds in her own way
And when her day catches fire
He becomes her excuse

My Heart, I think of you when night breathes on me
Until the voice of dew falls on the early morn
Like a simmering fire my heart decrees
That I must always think of you
With each new sunrise born

A fantasy is kindled, lighting each new thought afire
My lips cannot help but speak your name
Demanding that my heart acquire
All these thoughts of you
To feed the flame

A river of blue moves within me, as divine inspiration
Coloring each of these thoughts I have of you
As blue as the eyes of my fascination
Times like these  
Fans the flame anew

My Heart, I think of you when morning calls my name
Until my night breathes on me once again
Tell me does your heart feel the flame
In times like these
Do you think of me the same

Wake within my heart that which should return
To claim the fragrance of a rose
Look at me with eyes that burn
Into the essence
Of my soul

Remind my spirit where it once wandered
Of the dreams that it held
Stir me with the sweetest words
Until I recall the love
My heart felt

Show me ripples in the dancing sea
We created as we shook
The earth where we once stood
Before time and distance
This place took

Remove these veils from mine eyes
With your lips in a caress
Wake within my heart a wondrous cry
And I will claim the rose of time’s
Fragrance blessed
