Listening to every heart

A Promise

shadows roll in
lumbering along, strong
low, blue-gray movement
almost unrelenting
in the feel of the surreal

soundless, soundless
no wind to move
them on, but they
come, they come on strong

will they carry me along?

so lift me, lift me higher,
higher still
and in the fulfill of this need
take heed
as I take flight

for with you, with you
to give me height
to give me might
to shine again
I will win

to dispel the shadows
of the night
dispel the spell
lift the veil
so set the sun to sail
and sail on high I shall

O, I shall…

now come, grasp the beam
and let it stream
through your soul
common goals
common goals
and we shall run the spectrum
of what's to come
and in what's right
this rainbow delight
as the lumbering shadows
roll
to take over the land as their goal
to take over in shadows blue-gray

we shall overtake the day
and alight the lights with rainbow delights
for you've lifted the veil
and I've set the sail
and we shall prevail
for on this beam
you've set your dream

and all shall be
as it seems

in this, given lovingly
thank you
for loving me

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

"alight the lights with rainbow delights"

Love the rhythm and the anticipation within this piece.  Nicely done.
