For Love

Alone in this darkness
Drawing all around
Veiling upon my eyes
I see only colours
The one glittering light

Among the trees
Down in the mist
It hides, breathing still
Truth unrevealed

Take my hand before I go
Don’t say a word
Until I know you were on my porch

For love it turns before the end
For love it burns in ashes of shade
Deep down it hurts
As none could see what it turned to be

For love I drop a tear
For love I turn loose Heaven
All the world moves for love
Kneeling before it in awe
As deep as a song without a word

I see you in the dark
Holding your breath as I come
The one pure heart, the one true love

Don’t ask me what I cannot do
Nor innocence, nor dream
Wisdom but truth
My everything, I breathed it for you
