The Coming Of The Day : photo by Billy Mazappa

The Coming Of The Day

It's okay, love
You are with me
Be here with me, it's okay
There is no terror
Like the coming
Like the coming of the day

Shadows move now
They can scare you
Shadows scare you when they move
They're only walking
Toward daylight
When the sun's up they will leave

The sun is sacred
Earth is sacred
No one owns them, they are free
And I am crazy
For a feeling
A feeling for love's mystery

We are dying
Are we dying?
Sun comes up and sun goes down
We are herons
We are flying
Shadows moving on the ground

Shadows moving
They can scare you
Make you shiver when they move
We are loving
Full of midnight
When the sun's up, we will leave

It's okay now
I am with you
I am with you, it's okay
Such a blessing
What a blessing
Is the coming of the day
