Embers

Underneath the meteor shower
Last September
Witnessing the embers
Grace the space between earth and heaven
I felt my heart give out, only to give in
As fire dusted my skin

Love, where are you
I’ve searched the sands
And, sifted for truth
Love, where are you
I’ve opened my eyes
To shift my point of view
Still, I’ve not found you

I’ve scaled the depths of the grandest of canyons
Walked the paths of dead ends
But, the only thing I haven’t done
Is chance again my heart being broken
So, if you could, Love, break yourself in
And, take me to the place where embers burn

Break into my heart like a wrecking ball
Swinging with the force of a thousand hurricanes
Turn my heart around the way you surround the calm of your storm
And, comfort me in the eye of your love

Love, where are you
I’ve searched the sands
And, sifted for truth
Love, where are you
I’ve opened my eyes
To shift my point of view
Still, I’ve not found you

Love, where are you
I’ve searched the sands
And, sifted for truth
Love, where are you
I’ll close my eyes again
To open them to a new point of view
Until I’ve finally found who you are
