Hourglass melody 2.27.04

In a sea of golden sand
I stand under a lonely tree
The rain falls without dropping
The sun burns the tears away

Beyond the everlasting blue sky
Past the silver glint of the moon
A word is whispered and I hear it
A word to shake the world

Shivering in the cold desert
I blink twice, not sure of the truth
The word, unbelievable
Was meant for me

Shout for the evergreen turned brown
Who has forgotten the magic spell
A single word that could wake it
The fairy word called “love”

The strength of the word
To turn the earth green again

And I begin to believe
A faith so strong I shout it back
“Love!” I cry to the blue sky
All was silent when Echo flew

The glass broke under the pressure
The sun began laughing and the rain stopped sighing
The tree returned to the seed of birth in my palm
The sea of golden sand fell from me

I become free from the hourglass
And I chased Echo to the other side
Beyond the everlasting blue sky
Past the silver glint of the moon

“Love” the magic word; it broke my cage
It found me in a frozen desert and restarted time again
Love shook the world to wake us up
From the dream that kept us apart

I am a marionette doll
The key turned and I am moving again
