Never came to be, aware of true me

Thriving in the dismay where fear burns my eyes

Still I know the word and I've been blessed by grace

Yet I long for a mane to keep me warm

I rake the sand in me, a brighter tone of grey

Coming from the horizon of the fateful span

Gratitude and shame, shake hands in me truly

And I wait for the grey to reel away

Deeper into the hay

The ray, it swarms tonight

Catching my skin in shade

I never thought it'd come

Just tonight, fill my sight

And melt the grey away

I rake the sand in me, a milestone in grey

Came in days too early to face all that light

A permission to stay in gratitude and joy

And I wait for the grey to reel away

Deeper into the hay

The ray, it swarms tonight

Catching my skin in shade

I never thought it'd come

Just tonight, fill my sight

And melt the grey away

To swirl in the span of depleting time

It swallows the time of our being in dismay

We're all in swirl of sunlight and dismay

The ray of grace, it still prevails
