The Atrium

Ice in the Sun

Here and now with you tonight

Eyes ablaze in wonderment

As they catch you

gazing

Into the ethereal starlight

Can finally see the light

But in spite of what I feel

I might

Be such a blight

On this night of delight

I know I doubt

I know I second guess

But my tongue is in a drought

And my heart arrest

I don't mean stumble

My legs weighing heavy

My mountains begin to crumble

But I keep steady

Within these arms I hold you tight

Glowing

and caressing the darkness

Sincerity and accomplishment

Shear love

and complete rawness

Vapid with false hope and loose promises

But these stars

Reveal your prominence

And the notion of you

Gives me the naked truth

And lays

upon me its dominance

I know I doubt

I know I second guess

But my tongue is in a drought

And my heart arrest

I don't mean stumble

My legs weighing heavy

My mountains begin to crumble

But I keep steady

Fleeting, like memories of the distant past

Fear,

Melts like ice in the sun

And my heart

Begins to flutter

Because I know what has begun

I lay bare my soul, tarnished and tattered

But somehow I feel I have won

I know I doubt

I know I second guess

But my tongue is in a drought

And my heart arrest

I don't mean stumble

My legs weighing heavy

My mountains begin to crumble

But I keep steady

I choose to live,

I choose to Live

I choose to Live
