As the gray clouds soaked the empty streets around your maypole heart

And all that was good and green seemed to fade into the night

And you walked the eggshell path of hell as quietly as you could

There was a greater horizon heading toward you even then

Fear that holds back any hope that love can turn the tide

Like the residue of darkness and the stains of yesterday

And tries desperately to keep you from believing in something better; something more

But gently the dove sits on its perch and watches; waiting for you now

Each day when you wake up; and she watches from inside you

Let the girl who believes be the one who guides you

When you walk the shore and see the sun, let it reach those hidden places.

Look within and without to find all life's peaceful graces.

See the reflection of you on the water and smell the ocean air.

Breathe in today and let go and know that there is love.

Whispered on the winds of a million lifetimes is the answer

And in the sands that sift through as your feet dig into life

Love comes to us from all around but we seldom get to choose

And the moment we think we know where from, then we tend to lose it

Let it find you where you are

Let it give to you as it pleases

Let it be a child's smile

Let it be the gentle breezes

Let it be a sister's hug

or a letter from a friend

Let it be a bird singing

and a stream in the woods

Let love come to you in all the ways it can

to reach your heart

Do not hold it against them

when they don't have love for you

Be the one to love them

when they are lacking

And maybe you will understand -

The more you give away

The more you will have
