just for a little while.

if i could just crawl under the cover of your arms
and watch the shadows pass over the wall
and be still
just for a little while
sun streaming in through the blinds
the way it lights your face
as if only for me
talking in hushed tones
all covered in smiles
like the sweetest tidal wave of joy
sweeping over us
just leaving a calm behind
just leaving a peace in its wake
just like the very first time we spoke those words out loud
and all of the angry currents were stilled
and the rising tides of doubt subsided
the winds of change only stir up excitement
the exhausting beat of my anxious heart is silenced in my chest
no constriction
nor the bray of lies
or ghosts of the past
just easy, steady rhythms
slowly rising
and falling
and we can breathe deep
contented and satisfied to just be
and i can hear those songs in my head again
quiet little melodies
orchestrated ebbs and flows
i swear, if you're still enough you can hear...
like love himself is singing over us
and i know the whole world is calling
for us to go and discover it
and we're on our way
we're right on time
not a moment too early
not a second too late
learning to savor it
learning to take it all in
the strength to keep running
the grace to begin again
and so, if it's alright
would it be ok?
if i could just crawl under the cover of your arms
and watch the shadows pass over the wall
and be still
just for a little while...
