Visions in firelight

Older than memory
 
Beside the willows

moving so patient
 
away through the evening

Inside the moment
 
I saw her looking
 
lovely into the night

I poured on my best moves
 
Here from a distance

Left all the rest up
 
To beauty for instance

Then with just one glance
 
She smoked out my motive

then turned it to nothing
 
But mainline between us

She smiled for rainfall
 
Looked past my road block

Waved on the next thought
 
And gave me a good sign

The next time I saw her
 
Time stood before us

While off in the distance
 
A train rumbled slowly

A song that we noticed
 
here in the morning

That told us to gather
 
And bind us together
 
To roll through the ages

And never to give up
 
But always to look up

Through pain and through mercy
 
And chiming like church bells

Of daylight around us

To never forsake us
 
But always go with us
  
And if we are brave
 
We give up our pride

To the great gift of love
 
At the turn of the tide
