open sesame
Yes
I stretch out
my arms
and bear
your cross
Your fear
that wells up and overflows
your sorrow
that haunts
the most awful pain
you endure
and you cause
I embrace
I gather into myself
with open arms
to swallow it
in love
I drown your No in my Yes
to a deeper Yes
The grave itself I smother
in love
until there is
nothing left
but Yes
and still
even later and always
my open arms

Unfolding Light
Hearts out searching our for home
that one place where we belong
it’s a cold dark night my baby
but I have seen the light
home is your arms
holding me tight
deeper and deeper into the beautiful
waking my heart to sing this song
fly with me as flames grow higher
passion flaming deep desire
touching us on this dark night
there is hope in this moment
there is hope in the sky
when days go dark and lonely baby
as long as stars are burning bright
there is hope
there is hope
they burn for you
oh baby
I burn for you
There are times when life goes hazy
that place we all fall down
life can be so hard my baby
will you hold the line tonight?
open up your heart and fight
there is hope in this moment
there is hope in the sky
when days go dark and lonely baby
as long as stars are burning bright
there is hope
there is hope
they burn for you
oh baby
I burn for you
we can do it together
love’s the place where dreams come true
we can do it together
I believe we can make it
through
