Reach for my hand

You were the dawning of life

In a world of darkness

You were a kind and open heart

Full of generosity and love

Longing only to love

I was a person hurt by life

Lost and alone

Trying to make her way home

To herself

There was a litter of damage

A wreckage of feeling that lay here

I bled in the midst of it

You felt the bleeding

But sensed the goodness of my heart

And so if our path to here was deeply fraught

Truly each step of the way

Taught us both something

As each fresh pain was truly felt

It had to be this way

In order for us to burn clean

And stand naked here

Opening our arms

Taking the risk to free fall

The chance to hurtle

Through open space

To land in the newest place

The not yet known

Dawning land

Reach for my hand

My love

Let us go there

Together
