Might Have Said

I might have said I love you

ten thousand echoes reside

Three wandering Moons of Atlantis

conspire to conceal, they hide

the city; my love is a rainbow

whose path is come open and wide

a tumble me down and forever

whistling of prayer, neap tide

 

I might have said who are you

whose sleep I have come to share

far misty mountains abiding

a halo of Sun as they bear

tree Children; my love is a whis’pring

wind through the needles, their hair

Lift me up, I’m a flying man

whose heart is lighter than air

 

I might have said where are you

lonely nights lying awake

a misty gath’ring of shadow

fair ghosts of tomorrow may shake

their heads, my love is a phantom

a cry of hope for their sake

whose spirit may lie in my bosom

a lay me down I would make

 

I might have said I’ve found you

into the face of the night

The Sun, a cascade of falling

makes narrowing pathways of light

A fire, my love is a ribbon

shimmering gem of delight

the body of faith come rewarded

healing caresses ignite

 

I might have said I love you

then finally found your face

the stars, a sprinkling of Heaven

find sorrow and come to erase

the dark, my love is a promise

a choosing of time and place

whose moment I have come seeking

has found me and blessed me with grace
