You Speak To My Soul


You can speak in accents that literally ignite my soul
Somehow within your eyes I find my destiny, my role
I have discovered my fate found the haven that I seek
Inside my heart where before my soul lay fast asleep
Deep within my spirit I have revealed my soul to you
Stood up and admitted my love I’ve stated I am true
You never will know the monsters that I slayed here
You’ll not understand what it was about this all I fear

Your eyes converse with mine in a very intimate way
Telling my soul that you want me to remain here, to stay
I have found inside your spirit the missing part of me
That I didn’t realise was absent, hearts truth I didn't see
I’ve always ignored the chorus that begged to be sung
Pretending that I didn’t want my bells to ever be rung
My smile that has been hiding the sadness within me
Has found that my spirit now sings quite contentedly

Your spirit moves within my heart lifting me up high
Raising my hopes and setting my soul to bathe in fire
I have unearthed old hopes that I’d long left to fade
Brought them into the light out of pains dark shade
My heart is now walking and dancing in loves’ light
Released finally from the fears that crowded its night
Darkness was the home that I’d called my own place
That was until I understood the beauty of loves’ grace


Marsha  

Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
