You were so brave
I was your slave I wanted to go but I needed to stay This love / this life Gonna ride this wave Get what I crave To be / to chase This peak / this rave It's love and ambition It's you my mission This love / this life this Bravery slavery Crave every minute With you It's life It's love We're in it

It's about respect
Its about listening Its knowing I'm heard Not echoing in a void Its about letting me know I'm here I'm real I matter It's seeing me Acknowledging me I am here I'm sure Knocked straight down
She lost a day And then another Knocked loose from Moorings Without a sister Or a mother Pulled away from knowing Right or wrong She lost her way Had her druthers Grabbed on She lost herself Wanted to smother The pain Remain Untethered To right or wrong To up or down Forever I close my eyes
To see the birds Carve their slow circles Swoop and dive Between the cliffs Down to the surf Up again Endless patterns Stopped occasionally to Perch on outcrop Visit an egg Off again Repeated pattern Of flight Seeming senseless Hypnotic circles To no purpose But for my eyes To rest on While I waited for my coffee
I turned to see The girl child Held in her mother's arms In her face I see Another child Perfectly replicated Exact imitation She smiled as if She knew me too As I knew her That was not her But another from Years gone by Her eyes the same black brightness Smile broad and sweet Must be her surely My heart stepped out of My body to embrace this child Who was not the child While waiting for coffee |
