At the end, I saw the beginning...
At the beginning, I saw the end.
he took my hand softly as
he fell into my tired eyes.
At the time I didn't see the lightening bolts
erupting in the midnight sky,
nor hear bold thunderclaps
as they issued their warning of treacherous storms.
we cried together softly as tears mingled together
filling our souls with compassion
Schoolgirl phrases spilled from our mouths
in a neverending song of "I love yous"
how could we have known?
how could I have known?
We said all the right words,
told all the right truths,
exchanged vows of the heart
in the presence of ourselves...
love, honor, cherish, 'til eternity.
whispers of sighs through lonely tones
tempting ears and hearts with golden moans
At the beginning I saw the end...
At the end I saw the beginning...
he is a mirror of my dreams
reflecting my desire in a crystal vision
of where the beginning meets the end...
And the circle closed around me
and I fell to my knees in prayer...
God in heaven,
loose the ties that bind
our hearts to fear...
Let the circle bond
with love sincere.
