If you close your eyes
You will hear who I am
You will hear in me
Every mother’s kiss upon her baby’s hand.
If you close your eyes
You will hear in me
Every lover’s beckoning call
The ocean roar, the wind’s fall.
If you close your eyes
And open your heart
Your hands will tell you
Of a soft touch.
In your ears you will hear
The wolf’s dark cry
Ringing of aloneness
Reaching for the sky.
If you open your heart
The words will rush in
Lush…free
Of how we are meant to be.
When I close my eyes
And feel my heart
Tears open up the spaces
Where new love can start.
