Connecting Words
Tears fall like rain
On a moonlit night, a sea was born
Words gathered from afar
In the tales of the storytellers
Long ago, someone here
Gently opened a heart that felt like it might burst
Singing out loud, always
I can carry it anywhere
This morning, deep inside you
The light flickers, shining brighter over time
Connecting words and sharing stories
A boat sailing through the tides of time
The wind shines in today’s sky
Carrying it forward to tomorrow
With fingers entwined in hair
I catch a glimpse of your shadow
If I could swim against the flow of time
I could meet that person
In this world, born anew
There’s a wish tied to every name given
Your beloved smile moves my heart
Even when storms rage and I stand still
I want to protect everything, even if I give it all
Because feelings transform into strength
Connecting and sharing stories
A boat sailing through the tides of time
The wind shines in today’s sky
Carrying it forward to tomorrow
