Silent Heart Talking

What if the chance to see your face
was over
And I could only watch you walk away

What if these arms could never hold you
(again)
or find a way to reach into your heart

Other people will never know such love
Other strangers have faces that I'll never touch
And they walk toward
And they seek my mystery
but never know of the fire
You kindled in me

Why does the sky seem to burn in the ground
At the end of the day
Dispersing stars in the air
And we lay down
And think nothing at all
About the beauty of the last twelve hours

Why does the sea bring itself back to me
After it left me so dry
Thought it took my dreams away
But now it licks at my side
Virgina Wolfe in my pockets
Fourth of July rockets waving

And The Moon is everything
You can't believe
It happened to me
The stars know my name

And the fire begins again...
