Iridescent Way

A brief and fading song

Just like the morning, gone

How long have you been away?

That night saw colours queer

Bleed into me dreamed discords

That only ghastly winds could bear

And now in this scarring time, I repeat the hurt

Howling in my mind, to you, they are only words

By your iridescent way, I see

Why forgiveness fills the day with meaning

To watch the rivers roar

To feel the gale winds burn

I quiver like the blade

And set myself aside

To know about the acres wild

And shift with those forever meaning well

And then, under starry skies, I reveal my hurt

To never realize what you might have heard

By your iridescent way, I see

Why forgiveness is the change I needed
