Tonight I held you
And gazed deep into your eyes—
An evening well-spent
Tonight I held you
And gazed deep into your eyes—
An evening well-spent
Sitting by a fire
Listening to waves roll in
Holding your hand tight
Winds swirl wildly now
While the rest of the world sleeps
The earth is writhing
Though my breath be high
May I find peace in the wind
And let go of fear
Why not gaze around
And see what lies about you
And then simply breathe?
Before we are off
Let’s have a moment, just us
Saluting the sky
From whence comes the rain?
Its smells are primally sweet
I would follow them
Though it may be quick
And with its share of dangers
It is best to live
Do not ask of me
To live without great music
To lose my soul’s salve
“Steady as she goes,”
he said, but the sea was strong,
and the going, rough.
