Lead me from tortured dreams

Childhood themes of nights alone

Wipe away endless years

Childhood tears as dry as stone

From seeds of confusion

Illusions dark blossoms have grown

Even now in furrows of sorrow

The dance still is sung

My life's course is guided

Decided by limits drawn

In charts of my past ways

And pathways since I was born

I carry the dust of a journey

That cannot be shaken away

It lives deep within me

For I breathe it every day

You and I are yesterday's answers

The earth of the past came to flesh

Eroded by Time's rivers

To the shapes we now possess

Come share of my breath and my substance

And mingle our streams and our times

In bright, infinite moments

All our reasons are lost in our rhymes

Come forth from love spire

Come forth from love's spire

And the pain must be gain

New life

Stirring salty streams

And dark hidden seams

Where the fossil sun gleams

Oh, to be

There's no end to my life

No beginning to my death

Death is life
