SOUL OF MY SOUL
let this song gently brush your lips
that it might forever sleep in light
that it might forever heal careless voices
that it might forever protect you from the contagion of this
world’s bitter heart
let this song tenderly caress your cheeks
that it might forever rest with softness
that it might forever blush with longing and joy
that it might swell from the bittersweetness of this world’s
squandered innocence
