For My Aunt Something To Hold It's the necessary mile to complete this journey of sleep Wandering in a night so deep that the hours can't touch Though my eyes should be closed to the sky I'm lying below The stillness gives way to all tenderness I'm missing so much... It runs deeper then any valley between two hills Felt as strongly as any prayer from the lips of the weak All I have is what my mind grasped that I carried back home And, tonight, I just need something to hold til' we meet... I have the whole night for it to lend it's hand to comfort Memories to fill the empty space here in a place meant for two What I would give just to lean with the weight of your presence To see you sitting on the edge of my bed like you used to do... When dusk rides the common path I know is coming I die, just a little, for something to hold on through You're the vital part of my sundown to help me reach the new dawn And, I visualize every moment I was ever face to face with you... The silence drowns any interruptions that tries to break my spirit And, I dream, awake, with an extreme peace of mind But, the feeling of what once was captures what I'm longing for And, I can't help myself but embrace you in what I find... It's you're subtle voice that blesses my air worlds apart So, I take it personal when I feel it at heart Understand, my stretch of the hand when night feels bitter cold I wait for your fingertips in mine for something to hold...

In the mind a link sets Dawn rears it's uncertain head Questioning frost Protects those frozen steps Spirals Threathening protection Needed Before warmth will arrive Dave |

When dusk rides the common path I know is coming I die, just a little, for something to hold on through You're the vital part of my sundown to help me reach the new dawn And, I visualize every moment I was ever face to face with you... You are a beautiful weaver of words, Saunni~ May you find that hand to hold in yours... soon! Wishing you the best in the New Year and always. |
