and as for grace
there are angels in this place
and they sing
only blessings that they bring
fruits unto me
my holy protectors
I know of grace
as a brilliant light which you've waited to see all your life
the most inspirational light
as though all your pain was worth it
just for the chance to see

this was my grace
and even the delicate leaves that dance in the wind
move in a way that I believe
it's a softly pulled thread
it's being in love with everything
everything in love with me
she moves with grace
into empty minds and hearts
through city squares and darkened halls
dancing through all of life
with incredible beauty
impeccable flair
and as for grace
once I felt the touch
I knew as much
if ever there were something to save me

I, no longer drowning
hold fast
current around me
tried to pull me under
but her
I, I found a way to hold on
how to be strong
I found a way
her hands
its almost everything I need
when I dont speak the words to say "I love you"
I dont have to
because everytime she looks in my eyes
she can see she is saving me again
not wave nor rapid
her hands

I hate love songs because they always remind me all my mistakes and all the guilt I hold inside

I feel like my love for a person ain't enough everytime I press play and they remind me how useless I am

They bring out the weakness in me and turn gold into coal and leave a hole in my heart a thousand feet deep

I hate love songs because they remind me of broken promises that I failed to keep and all the instructions of falling in love I failed to read

I hate the lyrics that always prove me wrong on thinking I'm loving right and to show that there ain't any reason to fight

I hate how love songs are sang because that's how I spend all my sleepless night alone and just holding my pillow tight

I hate love songs because they make me realise thousand things when I'm thinking I got everything under control

I hate love songs
Hate

I won't worry with the sunrise
I've spent nights carving my name into rocks
One for the moon
Two for you
Three for the stars that still find a way to sing
After all these years
My ever-loving reminder
To trust my fate
And keep my faith

Haven't my feet traveled the lands?
Raging. bold, and confindent
Though winterland
Steel and bone and cold
She dances like Aurora Borealis
As I trod on
Steadfast, determined
Through heat scorched deserts
I find you in the sands

I play with you
Beautiful thing
Beautiful dawn that I rise
Sweet honeysuckle on the vine
The flower, held in my hand close to my chest
The seed
The tree, the plant, the vine, the fruit
All significant
You are
And I know I told you I believe that you are water
You are water to me
However you arrive
In storms or gentle rain
You become rivers to me
Where I go to quench my thirst
To quell my fire
Subdue this spirit, soothe this pain
Love this soul
Bring me to the ocean

returning to wonder of everything
when constellations sing a song
I find rhythm
it has a lot to do
with the stars
the way they can burn in men
in different points in my body
your body
even our bodies can be firm, placed heavy on beautiful earth
as we reach station to station
and my hands
even in pain
I still am happy
it has a lot to do with love
I am whole

I know I will live now
when I love the rain again
I find rhythm
of course it has a lot to do
with water
I drink from the well
the way a river extends to my fingers
and flows in my head
pure, and clear, lifegiving in its touch
waking to dreams and oceans
her body a still pool
even in pain
I will always be
it has everything to do with love
I am whole

I couldnt charm the snake
I break my own hands
I promise I'll think about you
This ship is going down
The last time I bled
Never made peace
I know a way to change the world
Doesn't even matter without bullets

i would rise and sing to you
i would dance and clap for you
i would chant and pray to you
i would praise you
i would love you

i remember you from when i was a child
when i was small
and lost
i knew you would still be there
my reliable friend
you would bring light

i would rise and sing to you

i remember you from when my hands grew strong
when i ruled the world
and skies
i knew you would still be there
my loyal friend
you would bring peace

i would dance and clap to you

i remember you from those prison walls
when i was hurt
and dying
i knew you would still be there
my beautiful friend
you would bring me hope

i would chant and pray to you

i remember you from when i was needing
when i searched for truth
and love
i knew you would still be there
my faithful friend
you would bring me joy

i would praise you

i remember you from when you were my lover
when i saw you come to me in the morning
and i felt it
i knew you would always be there
my radiant friend
you would bring me love

i would love you
nobody likes odes
