You all know it.  
  
You all fear it.  
  
You all want it.  
  
You all can have it  
  
In a moment  
In a madness  
In a sadness  
  
Stilled by memories  
Stilled by thoughts  
Stilled by dreams  
  
Yours is the life and the love of things  
Lost to all but love of dreams  
Realizing dreams of dreams of things  
  
Open up your hands and see  
Open up your hearts and dreams  
Open up to everything  
  
Fingers chilled on autumn nights  
Deer and stars stand, silent, by  
Life, intensity lives in mine
