I saw him in my heart’s womb
Protected from the flashing lights
His hair became the winding road
Long and dark and full of knowing
I birthed him amidst the threatened skies
In a place of shelter I once sought
He rode a dark horse from the trees
With only the light of his eyes to see
The skin he wore was dampened dirt
With a soul ripping at the seams
He shook with laughter once compressed
Created from this dwindling hope
I saw him gallop through my mind
Studied close this sudden stranger
The man I saw promised love
The man I saw is my future
Protected from the flashing lights
His hair became the winding road
Long and dark and full of knowing
I birthed him amidst the threatened skies
In a place of shelter I once sought
He rode a dark horse from the trees
With only the light of his eyes to see
The skin he wore was dampened dirt
With a soul ripping at the seams
He shook with laughter once compressed
Created from this dwindling hope
I saw him gallop through my mind
Studied close this sudden stranger
The man I saw promised love
The man I saw is my future
