Middle Of The End
Light,
gold and red
through the lids of my eyes again.
Sun blurs the line
'till the earth and the sky blend.
Suspended in the moment
before climb becomes descend,
as we start to reach the middle of the end.
Bare skin to the soil,
she weaves her dance through the rows of grain.
sings to every seed
to wake the fruits that they may contain.
Too late to sow, to soon to gather
all that's yours to tend
as we start to reach the middle of the end.
'and it is dawning
why you've led me to this place
and brought me down onto my knees
beneath the brilliance of your face.
It's only natural,
but how surreal it seems
when you are caught between awakening
but no longer really sleeping,
one foot in cold water and the other in a dream
Rain,
pounding down
like the hooves of a running mare,
filling every step
from the bride to the altar bare.
The fire quenched from air while
The earth takes in it's friend
as we start to reach the middle of the end,
as we start to reach the middle of the end.
