Conflated

On that cold autumn night We adored the fading sky Dried our wings and began to fly Only shadows revealed our flight Taking breaths beyond our lungs Speaking words without our tongues Let our feet guide us on our way Into this brand new day And aren't we becoming, conflated as the weaving of our love Like wine needs the air Old age a rocking chair Every life needs a birth Every root needs the earth I need you, need you today Walking proud by your side With our hearts beating time And if I knew what I know now I'd choose it all again somehow The uncovered lake shore held our feet Like driftwood coming home from a swaying sleep The half-shaded moon hung above and it whispered To the bluebird in the willow tree It's time to stop your running and for you to shout ineffable joy This time has long been coming, hear it from my luminous voice Aren't you becoming, conflated as the weaving of your love Like wine needs the air Old age a rocking chair Every life needs a birth Every root needs the earth I need you, need you today I need you, need you today
