A Poet to His Love.

You've led me far into this fog,
And the closer I've gotten, so far,
The more wondrous I have found
Our path. I've watched forests burn
Shades of aquamarine, of jade, and turquoise.
I've seen those same fires burn black
And spew out fibers, like a spiders web.
You've brought me through, and out,
Away from me, that recluse.
You've shown me child's laughter,
And I learned to see it in your light.
I sought to hear it, in Her thigh.
And the promise you made me,
Was never quite clear.
The promise you made me,
I could never hear.
It was one I always wanted,
And never wanted lost.

You showed me how life rang through
The trees, leaves, and even you.
Where I saw you, I once saw shadows,
Now I see the rainbows, of your color,
Like hollows carved in bark,
Filled with jewels..

I hear it now, that was my laugh.
I hear you now, that was your height.
But love, where are we now.
I do not see a single face
Familiar, or a single tower
I have seen before or ever.
This place is cold, Love.
And I want to go back.
If nothing more, just take me home.
To where I stood before you woke.
To where I should be,
3 years prior.
I don't know my way back.

Love. I cannot see you now.
This fog is too thick,
I cannot breathe now.
Just holler if you hear me.
I don't know where I am.
Just let me know you're there,
I'm so afraid of falling.
The only fire's at my feet.
Follow the sound of me burning.
I'll wait here now.
I'll stay here now.

Oh! Let me sing my songs of
What you have always shown me.
Can you hear the words,
Can you hear my song,
Over the sound of me burning.

Follow my voice and come back to me.
Follow my voice and come bring me home.

I'll wait here now.
I'll stay here now,
With the fire at my feet.
