Treading carefully along the path, Barefoot and latigo leather clad,
Cautious not to disturb, A single stone, stem or herb.
The water falls beckoning me Now I can surely see,
The beauty and the wonder, "Yours is the magic, mine is the power"
Water streams over slick stones Icy cold, shimmering, finely honed,
I dip my hand in for a drink, So sweet and clean, one would think.
Great mountainous rock rise up above me Blue black as far as I can see,
The sky is a wonder, I know it is day, It is light, it is bright, are you far away?
Water falls so thunderous, Into a pool so wondrous,
Water falls from such great heights, Are you as magical all full of might?
A hint of a rainbow within the falls, Surely it is a sign, a small bird calls,
Mist rising from the pool Shaking my head, I am no fool.
(Arms spread wide, head held high, I cry aloud to no one)
"Behold such beauty and Power! Earth and Air, Fire and Water!
Here amongst all things sacred, I unveil my innermost secret!"
I lay upon the lush green vegetation Deep in contemplation,
Blinking droplets of the mist Surely I am blessed.
To behold such beauty and power, To remain here hour by hour,
With my own free will to wish and dream, To one day be with him.
This place, Is no doubt what I know
This place, Is no doubt where he will show.
Sleep.
Believe.
Dream.
Soon the webs of time will weave.
(Upon the wind came a whisper, gentle a sweet)
"Draw me a dream...
A wondrous dream...where love reigns over all. Hate does not exist. We are what we are.
Each of us, a heart of GOLD Neither culture nor fortune, our souls are not sold.
Happiness we can share, embrace in the warmth, and not want more.
Draw me a dream..."
A soft caress awakens my trance, A figure in the mist I try to enhance,
Through wet lashes of golden lace, The figure I cannot trace.
He bows, steps closer, there�s no denying. "I am for you." That voice! I am crying.
A knightly stance, a hooded cloak "Your soul did I invoke?"
Shaking, carefully I stand I slowly outstretch a trembling hand,
In his he takes mine, Suddenly we are suspended in time.
Violet glows all around us, Water falls no longer thunderous,
Twinkling flecks of light dance Ocean eyes meet mine, entranced.
Waves of warmth and goodness flow from him into me, I open my heart, mind and soul, surely he can now see,
How I�ve dreamed, desired and envisioned, Are we now complete? Have we completed our mission?
"We are not of the same time," he suddenly speaks, "My soul is the one you seek.
Always remember our words we spoke, Use them again in time to invoke."
(With tears in our eyes in unison we say)
"Now is the time, Now is the hour,
Mine is the Magick, Yours is the power.
Long, long ago in an ancient time, In a distant place,
We made a promise Together.
A promise to come back to each other at the appropriate time, To the appropriate place,
And then to return home Together.
That time has come That time is now.
I've come for you. Are you ready?
Are you ready to fulfill the promise? Are you ready to return? HOME?
Now is the time Now is the hour,
Mine is the Magick, Yours is the power.
Fulfill your promise. Together we will
Return HOME."A smile so sweet, a gentle kiss, Gracefully he disappears into the mist.
I return to the dream, return to the vision, "There is always time, when souls are our mission."
