Drift

Do not let us fall into silence,

Friendship drift into estrangement and unknowing,

The warmth of love become cold distant memories

The beauty of your face fade and become unfocused.

Do not let these paths we walked become overgrown

Or these ways well known become strange.

That your touch would seem gentle and familiar

And your love warm enough to last.

Choose to take this harder road

Walk the mountain, face a dangerous way.

Turn from the prison of your comfort

Live today, live this day.

Oh the wind on the moors is vicious

Oh the storms of the desert harsh

But the light of our love is a bright star

And the song of our souls strong enough

So reach out from the island of darkness

Step out from the shipwreck of your home

And dance on the uplands and wild ways

Make here a new life on the mountain,

Choose here a new home.
