keep me in mind
in my eye you’re the eagle
seeing the blinding
sight of the sun
leaning behind
my back is bending
finding the long light
leading the way
to you i hold
steady in the hand
it’s you i hold to
steady in the hand
i want to give the best of me to you
the life rising through into
my arms wrapped around your shoulders
unfolding again
everything i came to know from you
rose through from the heart of the wound
hearing your laughter
brings me down like an anchor
it’s you i hold to
steady in the hand
it’s you i hold to
steady in the hand
nowhere were we so close than the barren field burned and
buried in the clearing, bruised knees bleeding
nowhere were we so close to the child in wildness
fallen branches beneath me, the weight of leaving
it takes living and losing to know what matters,
the loving shatters the edges and softens me again
the morning breaks me open
hoping to know
where you are from here
it’s you i hold to
steady in the hand
you i hold to
steady in the hand
steady in the hand
