Pages

The pages rustle in my favorite book
And the story comes back, my dearest friend
The place where my limitations do not exist
And the only sadness is when the story ends.

Knowing is Nothing

The wind whispers what the trees will not say
The candle flickers what the heart faintly believes
The lips move in ways that disobey their maker.
You are tired, I know
You are tired, I know
You are tired, I know

You are strong, I know
You are wise, I know
You are graceful, I know
You are blessed, this I know.

If I could give you the wind,
If I could give you the flame,
If I could give you the words,
I would.
If I could take your pain
And put it away in myself
So you would never feel it,
I would.

The wind whispers what the trees know
The candle flickers what the heart wants
The lips move to speak the truth
And you are whole
You are whole.
