These thoughts flutter in my mind Like butterflies through a field of daisies On a hot summer afternoon in July They warm my spirit like whiskey But just the same they burn like fire Tossing me around like clothes in a drier So many words rest upon these lips Yet not one can dance within the breeze Choked by the fears that come so easily I've found myself running as fast as I can Away from the potential pain that could follow As my heart lies heavy upon my chest Something has blossomed inside of me But I've left it to die like a rose in the desert Nothing has moved me without you here I've become stagnant, a tree in a storm Unrooted by the gusts that carry thousands Of pounds that are the same weight On my shoulders through this life that I paved I sink like an anchor into my own ocean And graze like the calf still learning to grow With all of this I can only find that I'm broken Like a mirror cursing every step we take Yet I hope that in turmoil I'll find my sun The light that guides me to the joy that is Love
