Dear Sky,
Help me open my heart.
I know what to wish for
All this time later.
She was in my arms last night,
And I had no wishes then,
Not a one,
And if there was a sky,
I could not have cared less.
Tonight I know what to wish for.
You are cold and clear
And the haze is gone
And I want
To fall into this love
Without fear lurking below me like a safety net of needles.
Please, help me give up that instinct
To turn to stone at the first sign of trouble.
Help me relinquish my misgivings and my doubts
That I clutch like weapons against the calm and joy I feel
In her arms,
Because we both know that if the end is coming
It will come whether or not I see it miles off.
Please,
Blind me with the light of her smile.
Let me see this moment,
Let me see what I have
And not what I could lose.
Help me unzip my skin and lay in the moonlight
Bare and honest
Exposed down to the weakest little corner of my soul.
Help me find the courage to believe the best of this world
With its barbed wire edges,
Even with.
If I give my heart to these cold stars
And set aside the fear and doubt
If I show you courage
Will you show me comfort?
