about
Written in the beginning of 2013, it was a gift for my boyfriend, who would eventually become my husband.
lyrics
Blind birds ate the bees
In the Sycamore trees
And for thirty long years
Flew over black pregnant seas

As the waves wash over
The wrinkles in my brain
There’s no sick little reason
In my mind left to remain

In my youth I was midquest
To fill an emptiness inside
The Yang to fit into my Yin
But instead I broke my pride.

As quickly as they came, they went
And a part of me was lost
Extinguishing hope with every flame
My insides, permafrost

And I
Could not stop the growing divide
As much as I feared the world
I had no place to run, nowhere to hide.

So many faces, my heart races
From the shadows of my past
Life torn asunder, makes you wonder
Where's a happiness that lasts?

I’ll never fret nor regret
How I’ve come through my darkest days
I'm rescued by a brilliant light
The eons in your gaze

My mind, the blossoming burden yet blissfully blank,
And all can see.
The wildly symphonic, strangely hypnotic
Affect you have on me.

You’ve shaken my soul, an untold feat
No one else could comprehend
In the fathoms lie the final prize
My heart within your hand

And I
Have realized I want so much more
You have shown me my world
As though I've never seen it before.

As the months fly by, to the untrained eye
It would seem like it’s been years
Time's spent now, as will only allow
With smiles and happy tears

It’s floating there, in the heavy air;
Weighing on the gale
And once released upon the seas
You’re the zephyr in my sail.

In my time of need you’re at my heed;
Your arms, my steady shield.
Your mind, a vault of fearless wit,
Making words a sword to wield.

Though scattered by the light of day
Our nights are filled with bliss.
The shallows send us with the tide
That turns with every kiss.

You have given me the chance
To seek out the life I want to live
To show the rest of my world
I have a want to love, so much to give.

Yet even with the stars above
I cannot tell you what lies ahead
But the face inside the mirror,
That once looked back at me in fear,
Is now the one that laughs instead.
