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
