The Winds After You've Woken -------------------------------------------
Branches snap beneath a heavy foot
And I feel you drawing closer
Through static roots
I once moved in grace and beauty like the sun
upon your lips and in your heart
until the day was done
As the shadows crept in and I bathed in the night
You were there to hold on to the best of my light
So you came to me at midnight hour
when the Earth was cool and wet
You whispered softly with your touch
then with your eyes you set
A burning fire within my heart
I one time would regret
For what am I now?
Where is the light that once played upon
my most eager and subtle green palms
I am the ground, I am the branch that has fallen
I am all that is slowly sinking into the Earth
Yet from this place I still hear your footsteps
It is all that I know for certain
Beyond my own slow journey back to the Heart
For just a moment I can feel
The warmth of daybreak on an Angel's heel
As ruslting wings go softly by
I leave the ground and kiss the sky
But that is all I kiss and this is why
Our dreams wrap around one question in flight:
Is heaven a place that lies outside the light,
Or will starry climes render our bright Love slight?
I still hear you drawing nearer
and taste the words you've spoken
And I'll never leave without, at least
The winds after you've woken.
