Life is in the dark caverns, a sweet blossoming
Like a blooming night flower
Or the cry of a lonely bird that reaches the evening sky
There is a light here in the depths
There is a peace, a silence that unveils me
Reveals my true self to you
And I shine as the stars do, mirrored in the dew
****
Lightning quivers from edge to edge
And opens up the way for me
In your arms, all surrenders to the thaw
And melts away like a clear, running stream
That always comes back to your ocean
Never desiring to return from whence it came
