Here seeking shelter from nature’s born fury Standing alone on the ground as it swells Rising this river to flood bounded glory Bringing the gloom of its rain induced spells
Drenched in a moment of desperate hours Closing my eyes in the face of the pour Clinging to heights, falling prey to the showers Digging in deep as I can’t take much more
Fearing my life as the walls start to crumble Mortar and stone fade away forth the storm Thundering skies speak in voices a’ rumble Sinister sounds beneath clouds that now form
When in the distance my eyes find a gleaming Flowing white gown of embroidered attire Casting the waters in fingertip dreaming Beaming of sun on a windswept desire
Rose petal sails full abloom on this river Taming the waves of a heart nearly broke Sending my smile on an un-ending quiver Hearing the echoes of love as they’re spoke
There in her eyes is a safety now waiting Arms open wide as I reach for her hand Straight to my stead westward flows navigating My footing escapes as I no longer stand
Falling in deep I find darkness surrounding Gasping for breath as the end it does call Gazing the depths with my pulse loudly pounding Longing her touch now to capture my fall
Drifting in silence of wishes found needing So very close was my dream almost true When in a flash now the waters receding Breaking the surface, enchanting the view
And as I breathe in the air’s sweetened flavour Merely her touch sends my mind in a spin Caught in the whirl of a goddess to savour Now I do feel my heart beat once again
Lifting, she pulls me from seas overflowing Holding me close neath the heavens above Gently a kiss brings her light to me glowing *Endlessly now I shall drown in her love
