Beloved

Sit

Enthroned in white grandeur

But tired

And shift

A wisp of wayward silver hair

From your eyes

I'd never seen you unkempt before

As you whispered: Darling, close the door

Well, how

Have I not made a note of every word

You ever said?

And time

Is not on our side

But I'll pretend that it's alright

She says the Lord has a plan

But admits it's pretty hard to understand

Before you leave

You must know you are beloved

And before you leave

Remember I was with you

Are you afraid?

How ever could you not be?

In this rosy light

This is strange

I feel a hand come through the mirror

Pointing at the light

Point at the light we never see

As you put your feathered arms over me

Before you leave

You must know you are beloved

And before you leave

Remember I was with you

And as you leave

I won't hold you back, beloved

We'll sit

And talk the stars down from the sky

And I'll not

Forget the chaos in your eyes, love

And as you leave

You must know you are beloved

And as you leave

I can see the wild has come for you

And as you leave

I won't hold you back, beloved

And as you leave

See my children playing at your feet
