I Live
For the night I fall asleep and awake with you on my mind
For the remnants of our first kiss on my lips
For the seconds minutes and hours
I hold you in my arms
I Live
For the moment, we intently look into each others’ eyes
Knowing it is the end of you and I
Planes falling from the sky.
darkness all around me.
everyone’s eyes are filled with fear.
fear, fear is all I see.
I hide in a corner and wait for it to pass.
but the darkness, just will not leave.
Someone who won’t abandon me
or leave me on my own,
and when I look into his eyes
Oh, how life’s cares bound up my heart!
I faced each day with dread
My life was so devoid of joy
Held woe I could not shed
And desparate to end this curse–
To find from pain release–
I lifted goblet to my lips
Drank full, then slipped to peace
And as I slept upon my bed
A dream appeared to me
It seemed that I in water swam
Then sank into the sea
And down and down my body sank
Pulled down into the deep
I felt my lungs about to burst–
Prepared for final sleep
Dreams of unknown melodies become my companions
When the moon sits upon her throne, my love
Far away, more gravitating
Are the quivering stars in the heavens
Up above
My life floats within the sun in a blissful perfect peace
Blazing there, high above the tallest trees
In lines, my soul can name
