Destiny's Doorway

I want to be the morning kiss on your cheek 
I want to be the sunlight  at your feet 
Feels like a moment  ago and all of last night 
When we talked until midnight 
Through the cobblestone streets
You looked into me and shined on my soul 
Underneath the gazebo
Now I see 

You are the clearest vision I know 
Is it wrong to say this is so? 
It's just I've been doing my best 
To make sense of the rest 
I realize I'm not so sure how it will go
The waves will crash, the garden will grow 
The future is ours if we say so. 
Either way I keep on moving 
Stepping into peace 
Alone is a serenity I know 

Loneliness comes and goes 
Like an autumn tree 
Bare boned and fragile 
Is the tree sad when it loses its leaves? 
The tree knows it's beauty 
Spring arrives in all its splendor 
As the sun and earth and warmth feed. 

I choose to be like a tree
That is the beauty of life's offering 
Changes come and go 
Without holding on or in
I step outside and watch in this unfolding  

 
I'm not here to define you 
I am here to come alive with you 
Fear and worry and blame have no place here 
We meet in the center of time and space 
Where newness blossoms 
And truth speaks 
Like a slow burning flame 
You warm my heart 
Tempered and burning 
Do I make your heart skip a beat?
Do I inspire your mind to take a leap? 

You are a beautiful offering 
So awake, and unafraid 
Your eyes look into me without running away 
I will only see beauty reflected back at me 
For once I was broken, a slave to my suffering 
And now I am free to decide, what a blessing  
Are you Ready to live out ALL of your dreams 
With me? 
I sense you can see what I see? 
I care not to push it , press it or pry
I could do 3 years and still get by. 
When the time is right 
We will light up the night with our strength 
And this world will know our names 
Sweet passion that we play 
When we give TRUTH center stage  
When love is not holding its purely unfolding 
And giving our greatness to everything
