'From Origin to Ember'

Let light and color begin and time be woven in

Blue fades on a high distant skyway above

And the glow remains when the night and the light rays become one

But yet the sun stands still in a timeless moment

My hair is scorched in the salty twilight

The breeze is warm in the ocean air

My eyes are wide and my heart is silent.

I’m trembling as you draw me near.

I feel every whisper, each delicate embrace.

From origin to ember in the subtlest of phrases

See even the earth is framed in shades of envy

As your jealousy forever draws me   

From grey scale colors

To the shoreline of eternal waters.

Where winter frays and ravels away

In ethereal time in a far-away place

There you walk me along to the ancient paths

And sing the songs that drew me back.

You awaken my ear morning by morning

Awaken to hear you say that you love me

To see and embody the ways of your beauty

You call me from ashes and tell me I’m lovely

And I know my heart you have won again

And I’m just taking the moment in

The amber skies are hoisted high above our sails in summer seas

Blues and greens draw deep beneath the surface of our feet

And winter flees to escape the hours of lazy days and summer showers

Of gentle breezes and sunburned shoulders

And time with You is in Heaven’s shadow

Proves more my heart was formed to follow

The wooing of a gentle Lover

And the pursuing of a faithful Father

And at the dawning of day you advance alas

In the cool of the evening I can feel you pass

And you unearth for me in time

A melody divine

From songs of raging fire

And the voices of the many waters

Of rushing wind that sings again

The memories of encounters prior

Where you made me yours and your were mine

You uncovered innocence deep inside

And removed the thistles from my life

And shared with me all that you have

A lead me into deeper rest

And I hear you call to the far away stars

And you tell them the things that you think about me

But your whispers create the endless of seas

Which are laden with the sands of your thoughts toward me

A lullaby of grace you sing

And love the complementing harmony

I reside in days of old

Eternal days with the God I love
