Aethers

Before me then, my now has past,
I bear the barbs with scars that last.
Before my name, before this role
before the Spirit blessed my soul.

You taught me well, that I may learn,
what I can see and so confirm,
that you and I, aren't here for long
to beat our drum or sing our song.

Let's dance to whispers, of loving thoughts
and transcend pathways, our souls have sought.
search every star, breathe in the light,
release ourselves like angel's flight.

The truth, our friend and Love, our guide,
Within our souls, nothing can hide.
