Sapphire

Stars dot the skies with intimate subtleness and glee
The wind pours over the grass arousing it until free
Children converge on the flame in song and dance
So am I there sitting cross-legged in a deep trance

Placing freedom before all in this windy fest
Simple drab and moccasins are the Sunday best
Adults come together and join their children this night
So am I there smiling in joy and flying a handmade kite

Questions are finally answered for all to hear
Answers are also questioned to quell definite fear
Philosophy spreads like the roots of the oldest tree
So am I there praying to the merciful God blessed be.

At the rise of dawn and the children sleep
A guitar is heard in ever so gentle weep
And beside the children embraced husband and wife.
So am I there holding close the very love of my life.

Daylight

At the break of dawn the children will play
At the break of dawn in God's name we pray
At the break of dawn everyone will be called friend
At the break of dawn we will share tales at world's end

At the break of dawn quiet will be the new loud
At the break of dawn parents will all be proud
At the break of dawn doctors will finally be free
At the break of dawn hands will reach out to me

At the break of dawn sunlight will kill the storm
At the break of dawn peace will become the norm
At the break of dawn I will go forth and save the homeland
At the break of dawn I will tell tales that turn lives to sand
