Hello, my love, how are you?
How did you sleep last night?
I’d love to hear you sing to me
the story of your flight.
Well I sense I slept quite deeply
on a bed of broken dreams
But soundly very soundly
for I’m rested now it seems.
I dreamt that I was falling.
At first I was afraid.
But then I felt your arms
And I knew I’d be ok.
Eyes shut tight, but easing, by
that strength which I adored.
My heart surrendered to this dream.
I rested all the more.
And so with fears receding
Wrapped in your embrace
With sweet breath upon my soul
I dared to eye your face.
But opening up I realised
You were no longer there
And for a moment I forgot you.
Please do not despair.
Because in that moment
I was carried by a truth I can’t explain
It reminded me so much of you
But surpassed you all the same.
Again I say do not despair
For this truth defined our love.
Derived, designed it’s what
we were forever dreaming of
It wrapped me in its gentle fold
I felt its priceless worth.
And with the strangest comfort
I took flight across the earth.
Farms gave way to oceans
Hills to deep ravines
Skating over mountain tops
I danced through all our dreams.
But dreams are broken by the light
of a breaking dawn.
And waking up I’m better than
I’ve ever been before.
For here’s that great horizon
we chased with all our heart.
And look how mourning’s glow has
graced us with this fresh new start.
