Standing Over Me

Who was I
when you gave away the universe
lost in a trance
I watched your hands
move a whole meadow
With one wave of a cattail

Where is the beginning
of what I got lost into
My path closed up behind me

All I see are shades of sunlight
Playing through your hair
You dance through every thought
Every melody enhanced
lingering scent of jasmines breath

I am looking for the reins
refusing to move
The strength in me runs away
my knees grow weak
I can only stumble towards you

Standing over me
I see your hand
Drape over everything I can see
And I reach slowly up to you

The day stops spinning
When I embrace you
Holding on tight
Waiting for you
to save me from myself

What has become of who I am
This joy that races
through my heart and mind
leaves me falling
to a different man

I can not recognize
surrender sweet
to what I have become
so lost in you
