For you tonight
The moon the stars
The sunlight
The breeze through
Your lush trees

You are my everything tonight
My everything
Do you hear me?

You need nothing else
Nothing more
Than me,
Than me.

From the furthest reaches of the land
From the longest distance
Take my hand, take my hand

Walk with me
Through the arid days
Through the sullen, darkened days
Dip with me when the waves get
Cooler
The sun brighter

Not just
On the sunniest of days
Do not disappear
When my clouds
Go gray
Do not fade
Lose that glimmer
Stay, stay, stay.

I love you
Do not ever leave me
Do not ever say goodbye
Do not ever let that thought
Cross your mind

My soul cannot bear it
Cannot hear it
Close your eyes,
Stop the thoughts that rise
That continue to build with time.

Stop the tidal wave of pain
That surrounds you
A guarded gate
That impenetrably protects
Will not let anyone in
To see you

“Let me in, let me in!
I will not leave you
I vow, beseech, promise
You!”

And as his grasp of the white dove
Grew tighter
Her wings began to flutter
The wind lifting them higher
Her delicate spirit rising above
All the hatred and fear
All the unending moments filled
With tears

Toward only realms of beauty
Toward only realms of pure
Limitless,
Immaculate love.
