Early Morning Silence

In the silence just before dawn
I sit and breath you in deeply
Your face in repose smiling
Like an angel without its wings
I can see them inside your heart
Folded tightly, curled around mine
Holding our love so gently to you

In the silence just before dawn
I watch over you when you dream
See the flickers that pass over
Features so fine and tender
Pulling at my soul so sweetly
Like a touch from the heavens
Caressing our love so softly

Angels

Unseen they walk here
Wings furled tight around our hearts
They protect from harm

Prayer for the Dying

Carry me, soft and gentle
Into sleeps arms and beyond
Painless at last, embrace me
In whatever must follow on
Whisper your lullaby in my ear
Let tenderness flow from the words
That slowly halt the beat
Make my last breath as sweet
As the first a newborn takes
Take my soul, so beautiful
And lay it with the angels
Let their wings curl around
The ones I leave behind me
Ease the loneliness they feel
As I step brave into the night

100 million stars

100 million stars I would give to you
No matter what the cost
I'd hold them in my hands
Hold them out to you
Because my love that's what your worth
To me at this very moment
I'd give to you the moon and sun
If I could catch them in my arms
Hold them out for you to make your choice
If it would make you stay another day
These things might sound impossibe
But I would do this task
If it meant we'd remain
In love like this forever
