That Empty Girl

Here you are an empty girl
Fill me with light and love and sun she says
Then know what empty is
Empty is that wait
The suffering that is needed
Emptiness is the gate
Walk through the door and feed it

Cry and scream little sister
Get it out of your head
Be the empty girl that’s full of life instead

Have you not seen the sun yet?
It kisses you every day
Touching that part of you
Giving you waking life on your stay

So yell and weep little sister
Time is your friend
Comforting you in your need
Adjusting things in your head
So soon will things come right

All will be whole in light and love
Though do not forget the darkness
That holds the moon above
Sing with all your heart
Because no one can hear you
Except me inside and I believe you

How softly you think sometimes when it rains
How your bright eyes gleam when it snows
How tender is that touch when picking a rose

What gentleness did I bring into this world
What silence and sometimes rage
What dream is writ upon your page

When did time go by like that
When nothing else seems done
When will my world end as yours just begun

Where are we now my love
Where will go that youthful age
Where with your lavender and sage

As I am left standing on this stage.
