Let Me Play the Music
If I may not give
the love that wells within my soul
to share in freedom
and in passion,
if I may not speak
the words that warm the very air
with the power
of accepting sweetness,
then let me play
the music that sings my love to you
in gentle melodies
that whisper in the stillness
and fills the air
with all the purity of true giving
of a heart that
knows not one condition to that love.
If I may not give
the love because we each must walk
on mountain trails
that wind through narrow canyons
where yet we go
alone until the steepness levels out
and we find at
last the summit where we meet,
then let me write
the words to speak the passion welling
from some deep
place carved out from pain and time,
from the depth
of soul that gives free gift to walk a path
until the time
becomes one where we shall never part.
