weddings.

a long silk gown
veil of chiffon lace
coiffed hair
an example of amazing grace

sleek, strong in grey
warm eyes, kind heart
sure gaze
even death cannot do you part

sometimes, the beauty of the journey
is the most beautiful place of all
sometimes, the beauty of the journey
is in the many times you fall

sometimes, the beauty of the journey
is hard to see but worth a try
sometimes, the beauty is the journey
and sometimes, that's all you need to fly

a dream is a wish your heart makes
like Cinderella dared to sing
giggling, sunbleached, listening to waves break
or soft, white snow gently falling

a song, new to ears, fresh from heartache
honest whispers, easy laughter, a diamond ring
your dream is a wish my heart makes
love is a many-splendoured thing

i asked the world not to betray my heart. i asked him for mercy.
i asked the world to leave me safe. for his compassion.
i asked the world for a song. one i could hum to myself when i was alone.
i asked and i asked.

love takes too much.
how do i get him to hear me?
im frightened.

I'm at the door of my life.
Where to from here?
