From Music of the Night

Slowly, gently night unfurls it’s splendor

Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender

Turn your face away from the garish light of day

Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light

And listen to the music of the night

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams

Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before

Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar

And you’ll live as you’ve never lived before

We can only really love when we get over ourselves and get past all our preconceived notions and expectations of what it means. What we want and what we think are realities that are separate from what the reality of loving is.
