Will you take my hand?

Press play and let the music wash over you as you read, if you are on a laptop.

Salute.

Shall I open the portal 
So you can take my hand

So we can conquer

These deep dreams

Together

To be spiritual lovers

And true friends

Who no longer needs 
In front of others

To ever pretend

Will you take my hand

Say to the world

You’re all mine

Say you’ll follow me

Until the very end

Will you take my hand

And slow dance with me 

As Life's

Mythical bands

Play

Look all troubles in their dark eyes

And count the stars

One by one

As they all fall

Will you take my hand

As we still sit smiling

Listening to Life speak and 

Help each other

To dodge all of its

Many complicated pitfalls
