Dreams of life lived
younger self and world
safety and comfort nestled in womb
sweet heartache... first love's nip

Lifetimes of lovers come and gone
muscle cars; backseats and drive ins
four legged friends and two faced enemies
wakes lost in faded waters

Conscious reality of today
piles of problems elude our grasp
eyeing madness, hurt and death
answers evade dreams

Embracing hearts, grasp not the wind
peace passes people, insanity spins
escape the nightmare
to hopeful dreams of love

Certain unknowing why
chastised from His love
Even the darkest night
yields to the light of the Lord
