Give me a crackling fire
The stars above
Animal sounds all round
Give me my loves
A quick-witted word
Laughter reaching high
Give me all this
And I
Will smile
Give me a crackling fire
The stars above
Animal sounds all round
Give me my loves
A quick-witted word
Laughter reaching high
Give me all this
And I
Will smile
By cobbled stone did I walk
In boots worn and torn
To see you there
Ever doubt plagues my thoughts
What if my eyes deceived me?
What if my ears were lying?
What if the words I’ve written
Mean little more than naught?
I see in your eyes
A reflection of me
And so much more
Such wisdom
Such strength
Such life as to inspire
And I wonder
If when you look in mine
You see the same
The storm brought howling winds and rain
Endless and singing loud
Crashing against the windowpane
The trees outside unbowed
And after it had passed, the world
Grew soft and sat in wait
And in my corner there I curled
Till quiet did abate
A bit of chocolate,
Hot, for me
Rising with the breath of the earth
Flitting through the boughs
In every hue imaginable
Sweet feathers on wings so free
Like swaying trees the drying grasses
Quiver in the breeze
As crisper air upon the wind
Fills me with autumn ease
Here I stand at the brink
Of something greater
Something brighter
Than me
Here I stand at the precipice
Wanting to jump
Needing to
Here I stand before all
All that lies ahead
Not ahead of that behind
Now all I must do
Is leap
In my dreams there is
A world beyond the waking
One with new places
That rhyme with old
In my dreams there is
Calm
Peace, far as I can see
Where laughter reigns
In my dreams there is
Sweet, sweet silence
