Yours
More Than A Distraction
Does it take chaos to draw your attention
I would stir up the peace, just for a glance
Send you hurricanes, and be your protection
Take your burden, if given a chance
Rich or poor, I would be willing to cover
Any debts that are weighing you down
Call my name, be your comfort and lover
Trust in me, I am always around
In your eyes, just to swim in your being
Only ask, I would give you my calm
Near or far, I am here, for your bidding, it’s my heart that you hold in your palm

The Golden Valley
The difference between light and dark could be as quick and simple as a flip of a switch, the drawing of a curtain, the opening of one’s eyes. It could be more gradual like the slow adjustment of the diaphragm on a microscope, the turn of a planet on its axis, the growing light as you approach the end of a tunnel. A flicker in the dark, a steady glow in the distance, a flash in the night sky.
