i think of you and me….
on a prairie field
purple pink clouds of dawn
dancing merrily
feathered light streams shining through
i touch your cheek
with dew kissed flowers
beside the happy brook
a bluejay alights atop the eccentric oak
singing softly
i whisper to you
“exultant love abounds to the giving”
i caress your hair
your eyes reflect my own
our souls
entwine
becoming one
with the dawn
If we burn our wings
Flying too close to the sun
If the moment of glory
Is over before it’s begun
If the dream is won
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost
When the dust has cleared
And victory denied
A summit too lofty
River a little too wide
If we keep our pride
Though paradise is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost
And if the music stops
There’s only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory
All the sacrifice in vain
[And] if love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost
Jeff Buckley - Lilac Wine (via noortjedegroot)
I lost myself on a cool damp night
I gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
and be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
I do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you…
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Listen to me… I cannot see clearly
Isn’t that she coming to me? nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where’s my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where’s my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn’t that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love,
feel unready for my love.
She danced within his heartbeat
Her rhythm feeds his soul
Footsteps treading lightly
as movement starts to flow
~~
She danced within his heartbeat
forgetting all before
Her words became his lyrics
on lips that yearned for more
~~
She danced within his heartbeat
left footprints on his mind
which left him wonder in thought so deep
“If ever she’ll be mine”
~~
She danced within his heartbeat
he doesn’t know the score
He only knows he’ll dance with her
more and more and more
