Navriss and Rhane
What is this that I feel sighing within my breast?
What is this that I feel breathing within my chest?
What is this that I feel whispering up from my heart?
What is this that I feel murmuring in the seas of my soul?
These are the questions I hear calling out to me in the sunlight
When the waves lingering in twilight glimmer like flames of red
In the sighing of day giving way to the stars and night
I hear these questions whisper across my face as your eyes have done
I have come to believe in the night sky, because I saw you there
I have come to believe in the twilight rain, because I heard you there
I have come to believe in the swaying trees, because I felt you there
I have come to believe in the quiet clouds, because they speak of you there
There beside the light of the silent fire burning in the echoes of yesteryear
I laid down by that failing light and basked within the eyes of heaven
Watching down over you as they watch over me and they answered me too
In the wind that came to wash away my doubts through these leaves
Where do you go when dreams take hold of you and into slumber you fall
Where do you go when dawn brushes across your skin and into day you wake
Where do you go when noontide washes the world and your eyes you close to rest
Where do you go when night returns with her shimmering veil sweeping you along
Those are the wandering tides breaking over my heart this night
As I sit on this sacred ground listening to the music only I can hear
When it sings in soft murmurs to me of you in the memories of my life
The day I first heard your laughter in that smile that breathes again in my soul
Will you welcome me with open arms and eyes when I return to you
Will you welcome me with a smile and glance to still my striding heart
Will you welcome me with a grasping hug and tear when I stand before you
Will you welcome me with silence everywhere except in your kiss because I am home
