there was a time when love was simple
a clear and burning light that banished night
a gift given openly into acceptance
and all the world seemed clear and bright
my heart afire, i never dreamed of shadows
when love was young
a daisy chain could say it all
the days were never numbered
when we were still immortal
love and passion easy, my heart afire
the time of innocence is past
not all is ever as it seems
dark walls surround the garden
this world is harsh and shatters dreams
i am far older than i was
a steadfast heart will find a way
if we have mercy for each other
take my offered hand and grasp it
where doors are locked there is another
a heart afire can burn down walls
