With memories of great beauty, you sleep like an angel
Your wings resting with a confident air
While you sail on a ship looking for blessings
Setting fire to the bridges that cross
All your cares

You play in traces of clouds where you see your reflection
Revealed in the proud winds of your dreams
Watching time fade and travel to far away places
Where beauty rests in your imagination
To be redeemed

Standing by you now, watching you peacefully sleep
I can take refuge from my own cares
As I watch, all my blessings sail in on a ship
Carrying the smile on your face
I see there

A warm heart flames the patient wind I wear
As I twist and turn within life’s skies
A wildness touches the smile upon my lips
When all these thoughts of you
Can be seen in the rain that softly falls
From my eyes

So sweet is the curve of time within this love
When I get lost inside of yearning
As it touches each corner of these winds
To remind me why I wear them
To calm the flames of my warm heart’s
Impatient stirring

Once I thought the sun’s heart was crying
For the treasures of the moon
Until I could see the glimmer in his eyes
Was not overshadowed
By the impatience of a yearning
That shined too soon

Yesterday I wandered into the bliss of love’s fountain
Held by strong arms I called home
A rambling traveler consumed by a passion
To listen to the sweet whispers
Of the bubbling foam

Timelessly I had always existed in a precious solitude
Where I found pleasure in my own dance
Until I wandered into the bliss of love’s fountain
To kiss the warmest lips
Of circumstance

I must confess, the waters rushed round my heart
As I touched the cheek of sweet hours
My rambling feet stood still in complete joy
Desiring to be molded like soft clay
Within love’s power

My flesh was warmed by sweet whispers of passion
Arms that held my heart in their hands
This rambling traveler quickly forgot who she was
When the waters of love’s own fountain
Rushed in to my dance

I once desired to open my eyes not live in fear to see the truth
To hold the warmth of the wine of all mankind
Yet I found I could not see beautiful moments anymore
Or smell the sweetest scent upon the hills
No shining days of peaceful silence
Could I ever find

A cold rain lurked unseen as I sought to be enlightened
In all my dreams I could no longer believe
I found myself struggling against harsh winds
While drying the tears of crying clouds
Caught up in fear and suspicion
With no relief

I felt warmth with my eyes closed from the truth
Started filling pages with the beauty I beheld
So that when the world read the lines, I had created
They would no longer feel the cold rains
Sheltered in the peaceful silence
My pen revealed

Here with my hand I painted a beautiful world of illusion
Where humankind could walk without pain or misery
But there I found that to live without truly seeing
Is to dwell alone in a solitude misplaced
Within a world that does not exist
Outside of me

I could say
my right hand does not believe
it's confined
While everything slips
through my fingers
Agree that the usual is not mine
to ever know
Just so you will feel comfortable
There within the skin
Which you linger

I could tell you that I am not hungry
for the small things
That I see most everyone
else holds near
Because I have a spirit
that travels quite light
Always seeking peace in all
that is still
So that you will continue
to smile at me,
my dear

Would you still look into my eyes
with the same trust
If within mine
you saw a brewing storm
Working its way into my soul
that I could not stop
Or would you decide that I
am a stranger
With a heart
you no longer consider
a delightful form

I can hear you speak, even in your silence
Blending forever into the way I feel
Until all my thoughts burn into eternity
Within a flickering picture I hold
That dazzles my senses
And my heart steals

I will tell you where the radiance shines
To make all the clouds disappear
When I feel the warmth of tomorrow’s dawn
Tie a string of silk around my heart
Because I know you can see
Me standing here

I need not speak as you can see me tremble
At every turn your silence takes
I will tell you where the radiance shines
When I once again see the hope
That dazzles my senses
And my day makes

Here within a sweet existence knowing
Fate comes to taste the moon
A year has gone within my nights
Served upon a silver platter
Leaving me too soon

High and low I searched the shadows
That played upon the grass
For a kiss I once found in silence
Inside a rose of passion
I held in my past

Down and out I merely sat and listened
For a dove to call my name
So I could feed him all my wishes
Until my heart was pleased in knowing
My life remained the same
