 ...And You Were There

 Lightning changes, transitions emerge
 troubles, hope & motivations submerged
 shredding the masques away
 Bloodless wounds seep terror and fear
 lashing out, willows & windshear
 in anger and in pain, in fright

 I feel a trace, a burning shame
 somewhere within the pain
 a shadow starts to form

 Into the darkness of destiny
 It slowly roams, searching endlessly
 For the answer to a prayer
 Magic crackles, lightning bursts
 and somewhere in the night it works
 a path is drawn with light

 I see your face, I call a name
 somewhere within, it came
 a shadow starts to form

 tragic futures, forbidden pasts
 structured images and cerebral castes
 threaded with karmic infinities
 Freedom of will, strengthen ties
 bonds of friendship never die
 growing in the shadows of rain

 I heard your voice, you called my name
 somewhere within the pain
 a shadow waits

 a breath, a thought in total suspension
 doubts tumbled out, hopes intervention
 a hesitation borderlined in time
 though some declined, and some withdrew
 still somehow, reaching out you knew
 ...and you were there.
