Last night, in my dream,
while i wandering in the wild lands
and crossing silent shadows,
i met a word and ask:
''What's your name?
''My name is love
and i'm alone in life,
i need you,
otherwise will be lost the dream''.
I answered: ''We need you too,
......
I am no ghost, no phantom
And I’ve chosen to be with you.
We go together, bound for life.
Your light may drown me out by day,
But I am always with you
Beyond the blue sky.
When your light recedes,
contained and settled in the moon,
Gentle against the black night,
......
No shadows in the field, save these two
We stand together, alone,
Our arms entwined
Our shadows merged around our feet
Casting an unused shelter.
We look to the horizon,
Through hedgerows,
Beyond the church
Its spire hosting a choir of blackbirds
......
beyond the realms of reason
lies a kingdom all our own
further than science reaches
explanation still unknown
from the first feeble light
there followed organic strife
miscellany of cosmic motion
so began this terrestrial life
......
My will is in your hands
A delicate little handful
The gust within my spirit
You're something spiritual
A million miles from here
Is where we're going to
Somewhere it's crystal clear
Pure light out of the blue

When I Was Small, I Grew

When I was small,
God held me in thrall:
Yes, He was my All
