fragile

in the wild places where my soul roams free
a restless journey forms
a need, a hunger, to escape
and walk upon a dark road

through sun-less forests
over moon-cast fields
each step a desperate plea
searching for the cord to bind my spirit

twas held once in these hands
that golden strand, so frail, so pure
it slipped from trembling fingers
and spun into the abyss with a joyous cry

standing at the edge of oblivion
fearful to take the first step
the siren's call builds, sweet promises
before the heart turns back to cold safety

elora ... 2001




home

i stumbled through a feral wind
in desperate search of shelter
wild forests and storm filled nights
days fled into eons
the spirit withered

then came a searing flame
wrapped in velvet mystique
in whisper and shadow and ache
a blazing symphony
and the stars wept

crimson and cream
the promise of madness
lying in the haven of Your arms
the heartless world melts away
into the wonder of dreaming

the soul never hoped
and the heart could not imagine
such wonder and savage joy
til the door was opened
and You stepped into my life

elora ... december 2000
