Candace

What happens when I look at your face 
What happens when I see you smile the plans I wrote 
Are abandoned for a while 
Staying away 
From shear dismay 
You never no what life may bring 
But still I only want to hear one thing from the birds that shall sing 
I wish to hear the ring of your 
Name 
I wish for them to whisper to me things you have only told me 
I would like them to read me inside and out 
To breath my expression of life into the world 
To let them see 
Who I have came to be 
And what you have made me 
Your heart isn't easy to read 
But I can see through mud 
And read into beauty 
Depicting the heavens that lie within 
You have no sin but a raw grin 
That can pin my heart to a tree 
And let the birds take it to flight 
You are a bringer or light 
With gods power and might
My heart is yours and there is no need to fright 
Give me a match and watch as I jump in a cave 
Letting the shadows take me 
I do this because I know you that you have the strength to not let anything break 
me 
You can't break the broken but I see your shadow at my side and I am whole 
The breaking is only there because I have felt the cracks over many times 
Breathing and only speaking of the failures more than one time 
A sign me a task to spread the joy 
I wish to change the world 
And you have brought this to me 
A light house to a boat at sea
It mangers my gifts
Holding my plans 
Holding my talents 
And you safely guide them 
Giving me one by one as the days go by 
I shall wonder why soul mates shall be apart 
And all I no is that you have become one with me and my heart :)
