Written February 2009. This song is for my best friend.
lyrics
A glimpse of hope that shadows me
drowning in a blazing stream
Rescued by a light not known
and held within a strand of gold
Down where she breathes no ponds run dry
The seeds of spring hang from the sky
They fall then rise from beneath her feet
to wrap her in a lace of green
When I take my final rest
to the one that I love best
May the very last light I see
Her eyes as deep as the bluest sea
Her eyes as deep as the bluest sea
