now in my garden
lost souls in need of my love
I give it freely

I give it freely
waiting and hoarding senseless
love regenerates

love regenerates
spiralling from the center
weaving golden webs
However long the night, the dawn will break.

weaving golden webs
faraway poets' whispers
gleam in morning mists

gleam in morning mists
listening to the melody
from an unseen host.

from an unseen host
this one is lesser than most
just some windy rain


(just wrote on the diary thread, manny, it 'hit' here last night and was nothing like
the hurricane of 1992?...just some windy rain without even one branch down on my lot,
and the last 'hurricane' we lost 1/3 of the trees....so I hope it's the same for you!)

just some windy rain
praying that's all it will be
watching the swells rise!

Thanks Willow, keeping my fingers crossed! :lol: [hugs]

watching the swells rise
fears brought by past storms fade as
dawn comes with cool breeze

dawn comes with cool breeze
sun shining bright through green leaves
a gorgeous new day
However long the night, the dawn will break.
