Drift to me

Close your eyes, drift to me, in dreams provoked
Open the dusty case to my fragile heart
Strum the strings with tender strokes

Feel the flowing rhythm, rise of emotions strong
Revive with a kiss, the sweet melody to start
Cradle in your embrace the birth of a new song

Deftly scaling the defenses to the castles within
Pain, sorrow and fear, having coldly stood guard
Your care and caress, breathing light unto me

Cherishing my percussion, like it’s never been
Softly whispering away all that was charred
From the halo of dreams your touch sets me free

Wishing and yearning your arms could reach this far
To give warmth, dispel the past, and cause my body to sing
