an invitation...

Come, come like the sunrise
After still one more sleepless night;
Leaving dark behind, an old day dies
Say, "Goodbye" to yesterday, welcoming respite.

Come, come like the sunset
After still one more hectic day;
Leave today behind, look forward to the rest
Welcome in the night, this day fades away.

Come, come like the rain
After still one more arid drought;
Leave the desert in the past and its thirsty pain
Welcome in the quenching water I am dead without.

Come, come like the breeze
Under still one more blazing sun;
Leave the heat behind for the shelter of the trees
Welcome in the cool reprieve, like heaven for my soul.

Come, come like the mountains
After still one more shaded valley;
Leave the valley far behind, and all iits desperations
Welcome in this view, my heart to rally.

Come, come like warm fire
After still one more rush of cold;
Leave the frozen world outside and all its billion liars
Welcome in the warmth to the places life has dulled.

Come, come like fresh air
After still one more vapid hour;
Leave anxiety behind and its vacuum of despair
Welcome in this breath and usher in its power.

Come, come like new love
After still one more lonely life;
Leave that empty world behind for this new one full of love
Welcome in this sacred romance that fills me with new life.
