I believed that darkness was all consuming
wouldn't dare look up and dream

Entranced by depths of a sea beckoning
bewitched ~ transfixed

I didn't believe the sun would rise
and shine for me ~ rather ...

I believed in the tears of the dragon
a monster hovering over me

I believed in the tears of a captive heart
beached wounded and lame
with flightless wings

But since I met you
I now believe
the sun may shine again
