when love comes to call
I want to set Her free and listen-
marvel at the light bestowed
write songs about the sweetness
that She brings

I let Her tame me
and trust that every wish
will be given, from far away
and long ago, the visions
once denied in love's past
journeys become whole and just
if I simply listen

yes, I admit
I wanted to take you
to the core of your soul
I was there and saw you
shining, as though you had
forgotten any need
for just a moment

the moon gave us
a moment of sheer clarity
that echoed:
we had noticed the ocean
for the first time

sad news
I don't believe you can think
yourself into happiness
or gain one morsel
by remembering
what you don't have

God was not finished with us.
everyone reworks their own clay
as needed
and I, like the fool
have tried to repair
the gaping holes
of those close to me
who refused

you see, there isn't any use
mermaid that I am
I swim in the oceans
of my beating heart
