Half-Spun

With silver eyelet and silver thread in hand
I stitch my story into shifting sands
I open doors with keys upon a copper band
while the sun sinks into my copper tan

My merry mind unwinding walks
along the planks of these old docks
where my heart and I had many talks
to examine this course and take stock

I laid these dreams in piles of leaves
and wore your worry upon my sleeve
I danced through shadows in wind swept wheat
and dropped my passion at your feet

I dyed my soul in fifty shades
only to watch you drive away
Then in winter's fading light
I lost my way and my sight

From hand rocked cradle to sandstone grave
From prenatal songs to a somber serenade
All I have is more or less what we made
and any half-spun moments I can save
