The Dreaming Tree

So long I thought my trust was gone withered in a vase that sat unwatered neglected posterity's memory pressed and ordered flat I suppose some slight yet weak desire believed that someday still I'd find one soul who's promise transpired while building false hopes unskilled For trust is like a pillow flipped to the cooler side It's the hand that touches your shoulder gently when you let down your guard to cry It's the feeling when your turned around lost in the land of strange the hand that reaches leading the way to familiar surroundings in exchange It's the peace in knowing no matter what's wrong you needn't look far or wonder how long your help will come from day to day leaning on the one who finds a way There's a trust in a dreamer who's so much like you when "soon" emerges all too slowly two with the same dream can make it come true This is the trust proven not wooed so much alike you needn't explain they knew your thoughts without having to say for the look in your eyes gave it away Flattery with all it's tantalizing charm sounds sweet like honey going down but only as fulfilling as a country farm in a picture with a frame going round In this o'l world when "with you in spirit" is the saying most commonly known... here I stand with you hand in hand is the proof your not alone Trust did not come easy for me so hard to build so easy to break all the hidden agendas I feared the slow to give and quick to take But on the day we first did speak of promises given or made you said your arms my safest place by what you do not what you say For that ONE key was ever lacking the door love enters at the start for all enchantment love can bring trust is what opens the FOREVER in my heart As I think of these diamonds on my finger sparkles halo the chocolate center stone the thought that never leaves my heart is the lifetime I felt so alone A ring that tells the story of a beauties life in the dark surrounded now by clarity of the trust that owns my heart Trust is the love I never knew you'll live for me, I'll die for you with tux and gown, yes and boots in the life we've made and say "I Do" Never again to live in wonder if dreams will ever come true there's no joy surpassing you see then living a dream too long overdue In quiet reflection of all that's been the room you gave my heart to know the freedom you gave then gave again the seed you planted then watched it grow A dreaming tree you knew in time would bear the fruit of love a love that took forever to find nourished in the soil of trust
