Drifting on a diamond road,
Sometimes forward, sometimes back
But always moving.
Progress slow, obstacles strewn,
Feet feeling like they're drowning
In the silent dune.
Starlight blinking on and off,
Dark moon swirling
Cuts it off.
Every gust that hits face on,
Every stumble that bends the knee;
Feels like eternal catastrophe.
It's hard to see the road ahead
When all around
Encourages dread.
It's hard to see the world is round
When numbing pain
And flatness surround.
But take my hand and fly with me
Above the clouds,
See what I see.
See the journey, see the train
Watch the faces
Relieved of pain.
Tis true the road is long,
And many on her dampened streets
Together in pain do throng.
But long ago when steps were new
And daunting mounts
Were all you knew.
The road was longer, steeper, course
It's winding turns
A witches curse.
Now shines longer the sun's warm stroke
As she dries the tears
That once drowned hope.
Heralding loud a dream renewed
Blossoms smiling
On a soul refilled.
So don't be darkened by distress
Don't let despair
Your soul undress.
Believe in you, your wonder bold
Believe in everything
That will make you whole.
Believe that the days ahead
Will be garnished with beauty
And held in stead.
Take my hand and grasp it tight
And trust my eyes
To give you sight.
To guide the way and bolster high
Until the time
When love takes flight.
