chase play find
the guarded gate, the flaming sword
children children
great evil happened here
dance pull sway laugh
you don’t know, you weren’t here
◆
inside the gate
there was untamed beauty unbound passion verdant green
every scent that will ever please you
came from here
whenever the breeze traces your skin
remember this place I show you
remember my eyes when I tell you
it was perfection
◆
Life Himself walked with us when the day cooled
we loved, we felt
we worshipped
we longed and were satisfied
from rhythm to rhythm all harmonious
He breathed in all, He knew all
as He walked, the flowers turned their faces to His light
ancient, new
the stillness of the sound of rushing waters
time parted before Him and closed behind Him
peace rippled from Him
◆
this we knew this we lost
for this we long again
but children
it’s so far
so far.
