As She looks up in search for clarity

She is lost, and She is me

 

Turn on the night sky to set the scene

Peep holes of starlight let the heavens see

Eyes staring back at them questioning

Searching for patterns beyond her reach

 

From the number of them She found humility

While in the dark, the light fueled her dreams

And for a moment She might be free

From the distance though She’s back in reality

 

Before you came I was left to be

Above the waves yet sinking deep

I go back to just you and me

Back to us sitting in a tree

A tree that floated over the sea

With roots anchored back at the beach

 

The arms of the ocean had started to creep

Crawling to the sand below our dangling feet

Drawing me in from the branch, I lean –

More and more willing to test gravity

 

You are Him and I am She

She’s in the storm, and He is peace

 

The Southern wind takes Her feet

While She embraces the air with warm intimacy

He combs Her hair with a gentle breeze

And knows Her secret is for the wind to keep

 

She can’t remember the last time She forgot to breathe

Or the last time She felt a heart beat

In this moment He gave her serenity

And once again in the stars She began to believe
