Just One Request

Velvet night surround me
hide me deep within your veil
let days unknown rewrite the song
where lover's hearts don't fail
Seclude me in the mystery
of the moment crashing round
time to smooth the rippled waves
this aging heart has found
Hope an everlasting dawn
that guides us towards the light
for a moment come surround me
deep within the velvet night

Float On

Floating on with motives gone
to drift amiss unknowing
guided through by morning's hue
as hope remains and glowing
Promise of remembered dawn
upon our water's dancing
ships out on the ocean's night
contrite though still worth chancing
Lift to rock and rise to fall
crested waves dip valley's pull
thoughts the same and hope remains
cups emptied once are full
Certain in reflection
childlike thoughts now elder grown
drift in bliss or float amiss
our hearts with motives gone
