Lift the Veil Gently

I need you tonight
By my side, in my arms
To hold
To touch
Really just to hear your heartbeat
Synch with my own.
Because together, I have the strength
To lift the veil gently
To do what needs to be done

Settle in close
And quell these dark fears
With your love
Alone it is the force that lifts
No matter how high the wave
Calms all my heartstorms
As I lift the veil gently
And peer into the mist.

Look into my eyes
And see eternity there
And touch my face
Feel the sun of my smile
And kiss these lips
Taste forever in our mingled breath
To  bolster my trembling spirit
As I lift the veil gently
And cross the naked threshold into tomorrow

Gift me with your love
That it will remain my power
As I lift the veil gently.
