Just like every other morning, just like every other night

I stood in our meadow and held out a hopeful hand

I pulled the blushing air into my lungs

Letting it leave as a wilder thing; part prayer, part cry, part promise 

Our old oak tree caught my message to you in her great golden arms

Graciously scattering its starlight across the skies

As I fell back into the flowers to wait and to wonder

I watched that glittering galaxy become a sweet snow

All of my stories melted back into my skin, until all at once,

At the twining touch of evergreen eyes beside me, a new one began

Now and always and evermore,



Just like every other morning, just like every other night

We wrap ourselves into a tangle of truth

It’s a wilder thing, that knot;

Part prayer, part cry,

Part promise -

To never let you go.
