the palm tree holds
the flickering morning star
foretelling of what it all means
and what I’m here for


as the colors of the dawn
promise to bring a masquerade
to the days charade
that covers all the promises made


can I wish on that star to be
what I thought was my destiny
as the time slips away
and there’s so much left to do
so much left to say
before the world awakes


and as hard as I try
I can't come close
and I can’t deny
the drama of the dreams
seemed once to be
so much more worthwhile


and then I see
the color of the world
is soaked in a deliciousness
beyond what i may ever want to confess


And the birds take their place
Perched on the trees secret face
Each designed to play their part
And the dragonfly spins by
In a celebration of being alive


this preciousness
Beyond what’s preserved in words
that are set in time
There’s is a circle of life so divine
Alive in the heartbeat of loves sanctuary


and in the shadows cast
by the candle burning at the alter
Are the ones who can cover
the truth that is discovered
In the depths of the soul
and that master who saves
and awaits each day
for that miracle of life
to be displayed
In this bow of such grace
and a magic that takes place
that makes it all is ok
