fire shut up in bones
"...without the question, there is no answer...is the question greater than the answer? you have to question to need an answer..."
gen32 - for the day breaks
alone with you. and me alone with you. with you to be alone with me...i walk these city streets, i feel the breeze...it's cold. the noise of machines, the passers-by; is it you, is it i? how will i know? when will i see? ever will i feel you in me? questions and answers, signs of progress of me in you...will the day break and night end? finding the new, the heart of you, a second coming--release me, forgetting the old.
The chill, the breeze, and the leaves that fall from trees
Everything that is beautiful
Things that draw me near
Open to fear in all of my tears
Dancing under moonlight
Violins sing and the wind blows
Your hair and down your satin gown
Ever so softly, slowly, holding on to me
We begin to take flight, off into the night
Time slows and as a look, I begin to see you glow
Face to face shows grace divine
Remains a mystery
Winding, Twisting, whirling, turning
Everything I am is everything for you.
The hours pass, the music begins to fade
A melting candle, the fire to flame
Will you remember my name?
Can you see through all of my shame?
Who is there to blame?
In silence now, the seas have stilled
One last chance, give me just one glance
Call me home, a place so I can rest
Tell me one more time
Of how we met, of how we fell in love
Of how we’d never leave each other
Of how we’d love
But wait a moment
I can hear the choir singing in baritone
Words I forgot to mention
Words of redemption
The chill, the breeze, and the leaves that fall from trees
Amber lights across the somber skies
Running, laughing, crying, breathing
In you and me
Around there is no sound
The town is drowned as we leave the ground
Behind all that is broken, all that is stolen,
All that is temporary, all and all that means nothing
We come and go, we come and go
Outside I can see the snow falling
And everyone is unique to you
A different name, a different way for me to show you
The love I have for you, my one
A little peace of heaven
A life before mine
A wonder of sign, oh light divine
And now we sleep in love tonight
Forever it seems lying next to you
I never want to leave
You’ll never be alone
For you are my lust
And kiss you I must
The seal of my trust
Two hearts break into one
A union of passion and will and rage
For one and one becomes one
A love that lasts forever
Is you and me together
with new eyes
there are mirrors that a man looks in to see a reflection of himself. there are mirrors that he looks through, yet sees many incomplete. there are even others that hide the known and he sees nothing. a man will stare and gaze until his sight leaves him blind. but maybe when he is blind, then he can see. maybe when it goes dark, there will be light. then again, is there a mirror that looks into a man to see the reflection of himself?
just ahead of me
in many worlds there are open doors and in many DOORS there are open worlds. some remain and some disappear. others you can't enter through, while others enter through you...although most can see you through. some you guard; some guard you. some you lock; some lock you. doors swing wide, doors swing shut. doors must have handles, but you must handle them. electric, eclectic, left-right, up, down, all the way around...until you're found
who is this man?
who is this man? what is this hand that pulled me from the sand? what is this sound i hear that came from afar, but has now come near? who sings this song that makes me belong? what are these words that i've never heard? how can it be that you have called out to me? could this be the love that comes from above? is this the love that frees us, the one they call Jesus...
