Rid the darkness from my life
Open rooms with welcome light
Warm my heart with loving flame
And soothe my soul again, again
...
Raise in song with joyous voice
And lift those hearts bereft of joy.
Give in splendorous melody
...
How do you lose someone you hardly knew
As if the breath of knowing makes the loss more real
As if the sharing of memories gives permission to the emptiness
...
I fled the cities for the road
In part to shed some demons old
But come to find the trails I found
Were more than just a way, away
...
