EMERGENCE FROM THE SHELL
(T. Beechey)
LISTEN,FOR I SPEAK THE TRUTH
ONCE,TWICE,FOREVERMORE
UNDERSTAND THE WORDS OF MISSPENT YOUTH
ALIVE YET SECLUDED BEHIND THE DOOR
NESTLED BENEATH A CURTAINED VEIL
NUMBED BY PAIN,FROZEN IN TIME
ECHOED ALONG A DARKENED TRAIL
...WHERE JUST THE SUREST OF FOOT DO CLIMB
LOVE HAS SENT ME TO YOUR SIDE
ON A MISSION I'VE CHOSEN TO COMPLETE
UNTIL THIS MOMENT,I'VE CHOSEN TO HIDE
AFRAID OF MYSELF AND WHOMEVER I MEET
NEXT TIME,NEXT CHANCE,I'D ALWAYS SAY
NULLIFYING EACH AS THEY CAME ALONG
EXCEPT THIS ONE --- I'M GOING TO STAY
...IN THE HOPES OF PROVING MY NAYSAYERS WRONG
LOOK DEEP WITHIN THAT WHICH IS YOU
ONE IN SPIRIT,ALL IN ONE
UPON THIS FERTILE GROUND WHICH GREW
A HARVEST OF LOVE THAT IS NEVER DONE
NOURISHING,NURTURING ALL THE WHILE
NOT TO EVER BE MISUNDERSTOOD
ENVELOPED IN JOY AND KISSED WITH A SMILE
...FOR THOSE WHO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL ITS GOOD
LET ME GAZE INTO YOUR SOUL
OPEN YOUR HEART SO I MAY FEEL
UNITED WITH YOU,COMPLETE AND WHOLE
ALLOW ME TO CHERISH WHAT IS REAL
NOW AND FOREVER,ALWAYS AND BEYOND
NEVER CHANGING,REMAINING THE SAME
ETERNAL,ENDLESS WITH EACH DAY DAWNED
...BY THE VIBRANT GLOW OF PASSION'S FLAME
