Come Run With Me

Written: 1995

Come run with me, through the Field of Bliss
You've captured my eye.
I want to share with you this world
Where everything grows & lasts forever
So much easier to see
When two come together.

Among its tall grasses we will wander
As black trees full of troubles surround us
Some we will fall to the ground,
And the others will not confound us.

We will listen to the music performed
On the delicate strings of our hearts
And lay naked in the sun of desire
As it warms each & every part.

Yes, it is true, I've been here before, but it really wasn't the same.
The music went faint, the sun melted, it began to storm & rain.
And the black trees grew so tall & so strong,
They covered over our heads.
We could not
We would not
Overcome
So out of the Field of Bliss we were led.

This time, its different, its not at all the same
As I run with you, my Love, through the Field of Bliss.
When the music grows faint & the sun disappears,
Our heart strings will continue to play.

And we will play on those strings
And our fingers will cry.
The sun & the moon will remain in the sky.
And all the black trees
will come crashing down,
None will remain but the willow
Whos sorrow will add to our gain.

So, are you ready, my Love,
For the Field of Bliss?
With me, by your side,
Are you ready for this?

Thanks again, Janet
Yes, "I've been here before, Jamilah, but it really wasn't the same." - now how many times have I said that?
Thanks be to Frumpalump and Lynn also.

This is beautiful. Are notes of congratulations in order? Sounds serious to me. Janet

This is sweet. Great imagery. I especially like the part where you say, "I've been here before, but it really wasn't the same."
