My latest – “Take My Hand” – Written in the early hours of September 9^th, 2015…

As the sun rises above us,

Will you stay here

To sing me

Your last song?

Will you take my hand,

And offer me this dance,

Or will you spread your broken wings

And fly?

Please tell me though,

Before you go –

Will your eyes meet mine,

As you pass by?

As the sun sets below us,

Will your tears

Escape you,

Or will the darkness

End all of our fears?

Please tell me,

When you’re legs

Grow weak

And you are weary,

Can you hear the words

My heart speaks?

As you inhale my whispers,

Will you exhale your sorrow,

As your heart

Intertwines with mine?

As the moon rises above us,

Will my hands

Be enough to guide you?

Will they have the strength

To hold you,

As your broken wings

Learn to fly once again?

Will you choose to stay,

Or will you choose to fly

Far,

Far away?

Will those words of love

Carry you,

Or will you crumble –

And slip

Beyond my grasp?

Although your wings

Appear fragile now,

I know –

That they are strong,

Still.

Your heart –

Partially broken,

Your eyes –

Lacking the light

I once saw.

Your voice –

A mere whisper,

Your smile –

Now fading,

Yet I know –

Your soul

Still shines bright.

If I told you that I love you,

Would you hear me?

Would it heal you?

Would it help to make amends?

Will you trust in your broken-winged soul,

One last time –

And let those whispers

Of love guide you –

As you spread words

Of love once again?

You are not lost,

You are not alone,

So just take my hand,

And we will find the way.

Our wings will not fail us,

They will always guide us,

Even on this long

And winding road.

I know the noise –

It echoes loud.

But your Soul –

It still whispers

To me …

As it sings –

Your beautiful song.

So please –

Please hang on.
