Far better than red roses
Or heart-flowers come amass
Gentle balm to fully mend
A thousand broken hearts
Key to live the sundered dream
Path to keep the truth
Wings to make the flight of faith
Wish to hold the dream.
Do you hear the music?
Hark the evensong
Soaring now and lilting then
Haunting then thus pulling
Whispering as to come for naught
Sweet secrets in the heart.
Remember thence those dreams you had?
Real and strong and true
Remember the things behind closed eyes
Brave and bright and blue?
Simple then the dreaming
Oh child mine, come apart
Sweet desire and longing
Hearken now this heart.
Dance now for the being
Know then in living dream
This dancing will come true
Somehow somewhere someday
Come to pass like a miracle
Like water into wine
Path through the sea
Blood on the stone
Life for death undying.
Letters in a golden book
Prose for golden song
Sung for a people undeserved
Sung to keep the dream.
Close to heart the dreaming
Red now the blood longing
Come then each to what seems to be
Harken again fair angelsong
Heart-balm in the moon
River-wise for souls asunder
Grant now living boon
Always knew the lover’s heart
Always knew the dream
Always found the kindred spirit
Bold and far between.
Always there the music fair
Deep and strong and true
Keep you close
The dreams of those
Who chase the sun
and kiss the moon
Love it seems made flying dreams
So hearts could soar
Love the heart
Live the dream
Till chance comes by once more.
