Our conversation
Plays out in my mind
All the things I could have said
All the things I should have said.
There is no rewind button
To create a different ending
It is what it is
And evermore shall be.
Our conversation
Plays out in my mind
All the things I could have said
All the things I should have said.
There is no rewind button
To create a different ending
It is what it is
And evermore shall be.

Fragile memories of
Sorrow mixed with sweet.
My mind floods with those who
Filled my heart—
Stolen from me suddenly,
Precious souls.
They brighten the shadows
With splashes of golden sun.

Facing new futures
Discarding the past
Searching for brightness
Through darkened shadows
Hope is my crown
My pride and my joy
Love is my banner
I hold my head high

Close your eyes
And feel my touch
Open your heart
To feel my love
Extend your hands
To reach for mine
If there were no
Seas to separate
I would be there
To keep you warm

Loving you through shaded vision, seeing you through strands of hope, waiting for your love to warm me, blurs my world to black and white. Banishes all vibrant color, I am freezing in the cold. Before I know it, think it, say it, all my love’s returned to me.

The sun has risen
Shining bright
The birds are singing
As their right
I have awoken –
Brand new day
Greetings to you
So far away
All my barriers
Melted at the very sight
Of you, my mistake
I hear your breathing
And feel your touch
In the darkness I know
You are with me
I am not alone
Nature’s gifts abundantly
Free, pure elegance
