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