Against The Grain
I cannot hold on to the past
Move forward in the future
Take a chance-believe
To myself-inside-be true
Trust in someone
as you
Should fly within me
On a breeze of faith
Truth must absorb the grain
The wooden surface of my heart
Aged and bruised with time
Barren as fallen bark
Whispers of meaning
Should hush the doubt
Shout to reality
That time sooths the wounds
Your love was my love
One glimmer of chance
Turned to rain in the night
Where now - I dance
The salt of my tears
Sting and heal wounds
Buried in my heart
Where once they bled
Another mark
Left on my indigo heart
Drops tears on my soul
to nourish its parched surface
Move forward in the future
Take a chance-believe
To myself-inside-be true
Trust in someone
as you
Should fly within me
On a breeze of faith
Truth must absorb the grain
The wooden surface of my heart
Aged and bruised with time
Barren as fallen bark
Whispers of meaning
Should hush the doubt
Shout to reality
That time sooths the wounds
Your love was my love
One glimmer of chance
Turned to rain in the night
Where now - I dance
The salt of my tears
Sting and heal wounds
Buried in my heart
Where once they bled
Another mark
Left on my indigo heart
Drops tears on my soul
to nourish its parched surface
