I would not have you gather gold to fulfill my dreams
When the sky is full of shining stars
I could not imagine how it could be fair
For me to ask more from you
Than who you are

You could bring me lovely roses wet with joyful tears
Or the most beautiful flake of snow
To show me how much you love this life we live
Even if straight from our own garden
I would love them so

When I think of how a sunbeam glows upon your face
I see all the gold I need to fulfill my dreams
Yet what makes my night sky full of shining stars
Is when you smile in knowing
I love you as you are

I would not have you gather gold to fulfill my dreams
Or even lovely roses wet with joyful tears
I could not imagine wanting anymore
Than just to know you love me
And to have you near

Silently waiting near the halls of years that have passed
Is the beginning of lost and confused
Calling farewell to yesterday’s river of tears
That ran deeper than a mystery
Left unproved

A promise does its best to save the life of a memory
What more noble an expression exists
When there is barely a beginning before the end
Of another day that is born to smile
And dismiss

The tick of a clock changes so much in these halls
Brings the beginning of enlightenment
Bidding farewell to the end of lost and confused
As the memory of the life of a promise
Is infused

A delicate hand paints on an invisible canvas
With blind fingers and a seeing heart
A loveliness no darkness could ever swallow
Because this hand is not afraid
Of the dark

Longing to chase shadows into their chains
To see water flow from a promise
A delicate hand paints the bluest skies
With clouds embracing the sun
On a canvas

What a remarkable sight inside one’s mind
These delicate brushes of happiness
Blind fingers paint with a seeing heart
Scattering darkness from a world
That’s grown cold

Fragile strands of secret thoughts play in the twilight
While eternity dances a breath away
Morning is sleeping under a quilt of stars
Waiting for a burst of sunlight
To smile her way

A hummingbird rises to seek dew from flowers
Shedding tears of joy as he finds
Drops of heaven on the petals of a rose
Within the reach of his wings
Purely divine

Our kindred souls are carried away in delight
Enchanted by the sights we see
We both carry our own secret thoughts
To play and dance in the sunlight
Fragile but free
