Pt 1 The Sunset Gate

Unlocked and beckoning
The gate was opened wide
Yet there we stood
The air, electric
And in angry hues, the painted sky
We lingered, gazing
And then the trees began to toss
Time to head beyond
The frightening gate before us loomed
With rocking motions prayers were uttered, flung
As lighting flashed, a laboring sky
Gave birth to a squall
No darker fear had we felt
But then it passed us by
All grew quiet
Except a distant thundering, and blundering
Toward light we’re creeping

I hear the sound of blood in my heart
Rushing life red, singing life to me

Is this only a tired refrain
An echo of a song
The sound of a dying heart
Haggard, wayworn, it struggles on
It’s beating life to me
A pity, yet I try to help where I can
A tested traveler, it seems to know
This time-worn path by which we go
Ever seeks, strains to see, far ahead, desperate paths
Before the gate I stood with you in doubt
I reached out for your hand

Then, the battle that raged within
You saw me strive with evil, nearly give in to it
Lowly creature, bereft of honor
Conquered fear but not alone
Took strength from that blue-eyed girl who stood with me
From storm to storm, you ran with me
'til at last we stood there by that gate
Cruel iron, wide it flung, opened wide
Rusty thing, wide it swung
A shadow in the mist ahead will rise
Beyond the starlight gleams
