The Pathways of My Mind

I wish I could take your hand And lead you through The pathways of my mind Come…come with me The journey will be Bittersweet But I need you with me. Hold on to me... Some pathways are frightful The way is rocky And you may lose your ground Keep your arms around me Or the thorns may scratch you As we hurry through this wasteland Of my insecurities There….Do you see them? The monsters of my fears Lurking behind the trees Stifle my screams with your warm body…. Hurry... Hurry… Just another dark patch And heaven awaits On the other side! Hurry, Hurry… Can you see the sun Glimmering through The overgrown branches? Hurry, my love Yes, we are almost there The grey changes to an explosion of color! Hold on to me Overhanging purple flowers Reach down their petals To caress our hair As we keep moving The scent of heaven Leading our steps As we search for That special place Where time stands still Here we are, my love Here....here is heaven Timelessness Drink it all in Lie down Rest… I know you are tired I’m sorry I had to take you Through the darkness Before you could see the light Of my unguarded smile Please say it was worth it, my love To be here with me In my private paradise Rest…rest here This is the part of my mind Where everything is fresh Everything is good Everything is eternal Everything is beautiful Everything is you Let me bathe you with water from the stream of my happy tears Let me feed you with the ripe grapes From my vineyard and with my sweet honey Let me make you a bed on the clouds of my dreams To spend the night, the day, and eternity with me For you walked down the dark paths You walked down the sunny paths You held my hand Now we are home, my love My mind is your home My heart is your throne My life is yours!
