The Secret

I want to hear the secret hiding within the trees

The wind talks gently to the trees

I want to know the story of birth and creation

I want to know how deep you feel and how dark you will go

I want to hear the secret only the wind and trees know

They whisper one to the other and back again

While the branches bend and wave 

Back and forth, they go

Sometimes, I sit and listen 

Hours pass

Days go by

The minutes travel and seconds fly

I still do not know the secret of your heart

I still do not know the secret of my heart

Who is the keeper of the minutes of time

Who is the keeper of this heart of mine

Who is the lover I ache for, so dear

Who is the master of my soul

And when will I FEEL

My hands ache 

My fingers caress the rough bark

My ears ache

My ears listen to the the silent ringing within

The ghost of my past, passes by

The memory of what was and what could not be

The ghost of my present torments me

The phantom hiding around the corner 

My future hides from me

Into the abyss I go

Fallen into time

Fallen into the roots of the beginning

Tangled, they are tangled round my feet

My toes disappear

As my heart crumbles

Little pieces of my soul are shattered and sent forth

Little pieces of my life flashing in my mind

I see the dance of romance, coming

I see the truth of darkness turning

I see the light of love commence

I see the change happen

I see the roots digging deep within the soil

I see the soul become complete

Of all this I see and know

Time eludes me

Time does not friend me

Time will not tell me more than the pictures show

So, I cultivate the soil and water the roots

Fertilize my life with love and growth

Allow the light to glisten my soul

Allow the light to glow

I breathe with the wind and sway with the trees

All of time happens in time's season

Falling leaves upon the ground

Winter snow pouring down

Spring brings forth budding flowers

And Summer time brings sun-filled hours

All of time happens in Time's Season

Wait for it

Wait for it
