Beloved

Sit enthroned in white grandeur

But tired and shift

A whisper of wayward silver hair

From your eyes

I'd never seen you unkempt before

As you whispered, "Darling, close the door"

Well, how have I not made a note of every word you ever said?

And time is not on our side

But I'll pretend that it's alright

Before you leave, you must know you are beloved

And before you leave, remember I was with you

Are you afraid?

However could you not be in this rosy light?

This is strange

I feel a hand come through the mirror pointing at the light

Before you leave, you must know you are beloved

And before you leave, remember I was with you

And as you leave, I won't hold you back, beloved

We'll sit and talk the stars down from the sky

And I'll not forget the chaos in your eyes, love

And as you leave, you must know you are beloved

And as you leave, I can see the wild has come for you

And as you leave, I won't hold you back, beloved

And as you leave, see my children playing at your feet
