Rising Sun, Rising Moon

River Do I dare Step off this edge Into propensity? Dare I chance a break of heart possibility? You’re pulling my hands And my heartstrings too I want to give in And say yes to you. But It’s safe right here On the river’s side I won’t get swept up And tossed aside By water’s whim Or your callus gaze When no longer am I Your toy to play I tried it once And nearly drowned Once bit, twice shy, I prefer the ground.

Don’t Fall My darling, don’t fall Into that well worn groove Don’t let it get the best of you Drawn strong are we To the sanctuary That isn’t one But is the devil we love It masquerades inside our heads As familiar comfort instead Make a new groove One that is whole One that cares about your soul Be wary my dear Don’t trust your heart This time your mind Must do its part.   DRH Copyright Donna R Hedges 2021
