The call to true love

 



Will you kneel

And call to me 


To tell me

How you feel 


In this winters snow

As the cold North winds 

Blow


With an invocation

To build an unbroken seal


With a sultry prayer of hello


Will you still whisper

My sacred name


Wherever go


When all that remains

Is my old memories


That got wet

In the falling rhythms of rain


Like a pot of gold

At the end of the beautiful rainbow


I may be watching you

Moving below


From the high towers in Heaven


Following your shadow

Mixing with sinners as it goes


Walking through forests

And strange sideshows


Filled with tall pines of depression with such courage


Now I'm gone

To the Great Place Beyond


The falling

Weeping Willows


Up to here

Where the Eternal Light

Forever glows


I still dream

Of all the tranquil things 

We used to do


Dream of holding you

Somewhere beyond these bluest of oceans 


And in dreams


If you call to me

I'll come


To help us both


For we deserve

Salvation
