Morning

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQRmCy6LfjI

When your eyes tear in the morning,

light runs from you.

twists around 

changing hues

When you've had warning,

when your virtue

crumbles before you

When dawn fades away,

or when they hurt you...

Your flag flies 

tattered and grey

When the hatred you've kept at bay

becomes longing,teardrops ensue,

Watery stains on

portraits you drew.

When the tide calls for you

spear pierces your side

it drains from you

there is nowhere to hide

I will run to you

I will save you

steer mercy to ground

You have rescued me

I will shine for you

Unleash the Heavens, 

before we are drowned.

I will run to you

we will start anew

our own island,

alone in the sound

You have rescued me

in the morning

with the love 

we have found.

Beautiful words, gently laid... such a sweet start, such a heart and mind journey throughout. And the finish just isn't one, tis infinite.

'I will run to you ~ we will start anew ~ our own island, ~ alone in the sound.. ' Maybe everyone should do that.. some time.

Work the romance, the passions, the skills, the seas or teeth inside of daffodils if you must ..just whatever it is that gets you to your page... Wake to that and when the time and voice arrives all of it will erupt and serve as it has here. Thanks~
