Shackles worn defy the need

To walk against the wind

Bruises yield the shattered soul

A hunger's wound to mend.

Restless eyes explore the sky

To find the perfect light

And hitch a sparkle to the tail

Of stars that fill your night.

And dreams are visions pure and sweet

That claim my moments free

And dance as flames that fill the soul

Within the depths of me.

And I am moved beyond this touch

That fills my hungry soul

Each whispered taste of passion's fire

That gently takes its toll.

And images of you that pierce

The shields around my heart

And take me as surrender's prize

From which I can't depart.

For I have seen the worst of life

In days now etched with rust

And danced in darkest pale moonlight

And trapsed through ash and dust.

But, never in this earthly walk

Has breathless claimed my soul

From words that move beyond the stars

And make my spirit whole.

But here, celestial passions fill

These portals drained by sight

And I'll surrender every tear

That spills as stars of night.
