Mine Alone

Let life and fate await my call,
as my breath is mine, and mine alone ~
and earth won't move nor will it fall
if I rest a while with thoughts I own.

Hold back the time and tides of sea,
as I breathe a breath inside ~
and earth won't know nor will it care
if I rest a while in timeless tide.

Let visions pass through endless dream,
as my eyes are mine, and mine alone ~
and earth won't tarnish by their gleam
if I rest a while with dreams I own.

Hold now the night, the darkened hour,
as I must flame the candle's light ~
and earth won't ever feel its burn
if I rest a while within its sight.

Let life be life, and it be mine,
as my heart is mine, and mine alone ~
and earth won't know nor will it care
when all is said and life has flown...
