The One

Pulled up the warmth that blankets my dreams

Slipped into sleep to envelop my needs

I replay one moment again and again

With not one waking answer as to where or when.

 

I’ve imagined one scene a thousand different ways

So where is the one who simply isn’t afraid?

Who brings to life one dream in original words

And shares it with me as it needs to be heard?

 

Somewhere there’s one who ignores the fears

Takes charge of what’s right and makes it clear

One embraces the longing that comes in the night

But lets it go freely when the answer is right.

 

One comes in waves and drenches my soul

Then vanishes for days…keeps me on hold

Am I one in a million…or one of a few more?

Acknowledge the truth and open the door.

 

How does one separate fact from the fiction?

With one sheltered life full of many contradictions

You hesitate to take just one painless chance

When you desperately need that one breathless dance.
