Lay your love ..

Sometimes we have to die to old dreams, and let go of them before they can be reborn ..

Lay your love beneath a stone
Let it die, and die alone.
Let your heart lie cold and still
No more beating to your will
Every dream and all desire
Now consumed by frozen fire.

Heap the silent earth above
Make a thorough end to love
Let another sing your song
This is not where you belong
Others meet in sweet embrace
You await a different grace.

Someday spring will come again
Not with bitter freezing rain –
Warmth and softness ending cold
Faithful arms that will enfold
Love transcendent will descend
Joy’s beginning in its end.
