Down Comes Love
Now I see the shadows on the wall
And in my heart. I feel the savage loss
Down I come, and with the dust, I fall
Once I scarcely saw the bad at all
And did not think of love and what it cost
Now I see the shadows on the wall
Down amid the weeds I find my call
And mixed with dark green leaves I am compost
As down I come, and to the dust, I fall
Brilliance cannot last and life appals
In between my cells comes sudden frost
Oh, I feel the cracks within my walls
We love between the lines with all we feel
Then broken by the cold we join the lost
Down we come, and into dust, we fall
Must we live and what shall living cost?
Is it ours to judge the present past?
As I watch the shadows on the wall
Down comes Love and holds me as I fall
