Christopher Wilson: listen

Opening the Lotus

(Christopher Wilson)
Opening the Lotus
(C. Wilson)

woke up clenching the covers
it's one more thing
then another

like a beginning to an end
you broke into this life
became my best friend
something more came uncovered
light of day I cannot smother
this whirling wing of fire
keeping me alive
alive

sum of us
sun upon us
the open sky
like opening the lotus
we come alive
sum of us
sun upon us
our open eyes
like opening the lotus

this is a reunion
I do believe
of a union
that was meant to be
nothing more to uncover
light of day shed my covers
this whirling wing of fire
keeping me alive
alive
alive
alive

sum of us
sun upon us
the open sky
like opening the lotus
we come alive
sum of us
sun upon us
our open eyes
like opening the lotus
we come alive
open eyes
like opening the lotus
