Ayla Nereo - Piper (A Dagger & A Poem)

Piper you’ve a song to sing and will you sing today

I’m feeling like a wildfire, will you guide my way

Rushing through the underbrush until I see my next turn

Cover me in roses, set a course for wind-borne

Tip a glass for temperance, dip me in red wine

I’ve a dagger and a poem at my side.

Piper called, "you lead yourself by coming you undone

The veils upon your eyelids, the dragons on your tongue

Listen close, you’ll know them by the hawthorn and the moonbeam

Give a bit o’ ribbon round and lеave it as an offering

Hear thе rounds of lovers calling "dance us with a kiss

So in parting here the love we never miss".

Bellow for the eyes to see a brightness to what’s known

Bellow for the lungs to breathe and find their way back home

Bellow for the undertow, teach me through the falling

Show me every fear till I can dance with them till morning

Bellow for to summon every heart and set it free.

Piper you’ve an opening to do what you must do

The dams are bound for breaking so you let the river move

Though there are a’twists and turns the storm will see you through

If you keep your compass aimed by your own roots.
