Lanternlight

Gone is the hurt, the wait

Gone is the warmth of day

A stray boat saved, happy memories engraved

On into a velvety night

Beneath a lanternlight

Last night brought the heaviest of snows

Melting the songs of old

Tying the boat, write a new one soon

Sending me to the drowning moon

Far above a lanternlight

I'm in the light and flood

I'm in the four winds

I'm the waves, shaping pebbles, flawless gems

I am the snow on your palm

I am the secret stream

Moss beneath your feet

I am you who climbed off my back

Not long ago

A sheltered song

In a world now gone

Petrichor

The timeless

Turn loose, the swaying boat

Meltwater, sound of spring

I hear our song now, sung by the free

For a thousand more tomorrows

Of an incomplete weave

To the meadows, I go

I’ll be waiting for you

Once upon a lanternlight

I walk now toward the trees

I am the secret stream

The night falling at my feet

Into the forest of Yesterwynde
