Dragonfly

Don't ask me to surrender
Her voice fell tired and spent
My hopes and dreams, a silent heart
I carry here within..

Her outstretched wings, left tattered..
A sail aged with rust..
A breath in time, that's yours and mine...
It belongs to only us..

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky..
Silhouettes recede into a mother's tearful eyes..
A host of angels clamor to her side
A light dissolves to kiss the wind
Release the dragonfly..

See the rose within the field of white
She's searching for the grail..
But the rain descends to snatch the light
From distant dying suns..
A faint resounding in the night
Calls angels wings to beat..
Singing silent lip-sewn songs
But the distance is too deep..

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky..
Silhouettes recede into a mother's tearful eyes..
A host of angels clamor to her side..
A night dissolved to kiss the wind
Release the dragonfly..

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky..
As precious moments will slip away in time..
Sometimes angels fall, but love will never die..
Tonight my soul is something more
Calls the dragonfly..
