Summertime Love Song

I wanna take you

To where Armies of emotion dwell in the night,

To where Princely fortresses crumble

By the slight of an old woman's hands.

 

To where Birds and Bees sing in wild harmonies,

And wind and water caress the surface of the Earth...

 

I wanna take you

To where Angels of the Hunt

Bathe and dream in stillness

And starlight.

 

To where smoke rises

And mist dances round the eyes

Of emerald children.

 

To where Stones sleep,

And sleep,

And sleep,

And bear the burden of the whole world on their back...

And bear it still

Though the tears of Millennia wash away,

in Furrows of wrath

and of wisdom.

 

I wanna take you

To where Sun's kiss is sear --

But holds you close like a Babe to the Breast,

in the light of a falling tear.

 

I wanna take you

To where we can be our best:

And let dust & shadow

Seize the rest.
