Wanton happiness is borne on hope's flame With every haunted disapointment That fire is quenched by life's tears The tears that quench are also the flow that helps you grow Destiny, hope and fire They are all entwined in love's desire I stand at the edge of darkness On the freefall of a cliff Looking down into the abyss Seeking that flame once again Can You pick up these reins of my heart And reawaken the flame within ? All it takes is trust in yourself and in me To set each other free I stand at the edge of that doused flame The coldness long gone to ember From all of life's many perils and woes My spirit longs for the spark that knows How to unlock this haunted heart of mine and i wish and i love and i long for the hope that springs eternal Can You be that hope that reignites the flame of desire of devotion of serving of surrender within this haunted heart of mine... 11/27/06 §
