Absorbed

Blind my eyes with your delight,
make me warm,
fill me with light.

Bright essence shine around me,
hug me tight,
guide me to see.

Add your spirit to my soul,
steer the wheel,
take full control.

Illuminate every path,
leave all dark,
far in the past.

Wipe the tears that swiftly flow,
hold my hand
and help me grow.

Kiss me softly on my head,
expand love,
so it can spread.

Carry hopes up to the sky
mend my wings
teach me to fly

Sprinkle peace from up above
bless this world
with divine love

Suddenly

Without a clue
out of the blue,
the old me died
reborn all new.
All past mistakes
proved to be true,
knowledge was earned
from what I knew.

Out of the blue
everything changed
the life I lived
was rearranged.
All thoughts I had
were interchanged,
my preferences
were seen as strange.

Without a clue
to what comes next,
training my heart
not to expect.
Coaching my eyes
to not project,
letting my soul
shine and reflect.

Without a clue
out of the blue,
every old sight
formed unique views.
Every past fail
carries bright hues,
lessons were learned
from which I grew.

Silhouette

Childhood best friend
obscure to see,
known to extend
each time I flee.
Your soul depends
on me to be,
I make you bend
and crawl with me.

My growth is yours,
so is my speed.
You are my cure
for lonely needs.
You must endure,
my every deed.
Feeling secure,
always agree.

Partners in crime,
my closest peer,
with all my climbs,
sure to appear.
My silent mime
has no found fears,
here all the time,
throughout the years.

Each growing step
forced your follow.
Secrets we swept
tied tomorrows,
You must accept
options narrow.
My trust you kept
loyal shadow.
