I see your soothing shine,
I see your soft glow.
Does your energy come from another?
Are you hiding in someplace I cannot go?
Hanging with so many,
And yet left all alone.
Oh, the years that were left wide open.
Oh, the shadows that seemingly were sown.
For many visited you,
And many left a footprint in the sand.
Yet, all turned away,
Sifting, then scolding, and relinquished with a turned hand.
Will this haze cast itself between forever?
Will the fragrance of your space speak in softened word?
Awaken the dormant vessel of your youth.
Bolster the tides that left vison blurred.
Cast your net and illuminate the path forlorn.
Guide a sailor to safety and shore.
Reduce the fears, with songs through night.
Kiss the eyes, of he who stands before.
I am yours, oh lover.
Embrace me and know that my heart bleeds for you.
I am here, oh lover.
Beneath the tattered mast and your yellow hue.
Take me into your arms again.
You have strayed but were not blotted out.
You have wandered but were never lost.
You have capsized but I remained devout.
Return, oh lover.
Return with victory and a raised silver chalice.
Return, oh lover.
Lay aside the wounds, lay waste to all the malice.
Rekindle the spark.
Let your eyes catch hold of the light.
Allow the tears to sodden flesh.
Allow the waters to heal the blight.
Mighty angel, thrust your sword into my chest and be done.
For to be away from you is an agony worse than death.
Understand that there is one fundamental truth.
To be without, is to behold a life devoid of breath.
