Freedom Rider

You

If our palms were to touch

would I remember to breathe?

Could that surrender

shake death from my leaves?

If I could see through the veil

that misery holds so tight,

would I meet your eyes

and escape this endless night?

If the storms could blow your voice

into my hearts deepest hollows

Would your words transform

the emptiness time borrows?

If I could taste your love

would it melt this fear?

Could this ice castle

reduce to a single tear?

and if you are closer than my breath

can you fill this heart of stone

and let your gentle whisper

be the breeze that brings me home?
