Pillars

I stand here still In the stillness of the night What have we been Have we been through I wonder now Every morning a new day I am glad you chose to stay Whispers, softly call Manifold shapes A heart of gold I can be sure That we grow old Just so much To be learned and told You shine You grow I see the spheres Of significance I see the pillars Of consistency Ordeals and provocations Our best aspirations You shine You grow I’m in temptation And in flow So long So long ago Give me esteem And I paint a wonderwork A raging stream That can be heart All along through valleys And over mountains Hold on tight You might be trembling But we make it through each night We are not forlorn Nor restless And I kiss you every day And tell you that I love you There is so much to be said And alas so much To remain silent about In good times And in times of fraud The heavens rise In a burning cloud
