Fire at the Water’s Edge

by Wes Davis

The moon is gazing on the water

My spirit captured in its glow

On a silver night that beckons me

From long ago

I see forever in a moment

As freedom echoes in my soul

Let the fire breathe and cover me

And make me whole

Chorus:

And time bows its head in surrender

In a place where the moments are one

And wounds that I used to remember

Are undone

In the fire

At the water’s edge

A child of wisdom, I awaken

I hear the whisper of her song

On my neck I feel the breath of love

Holy and strong 

The mystery is my companion 

A heart fulfilled and yet it yearns

Even as the water glistens as

The fire burns

Repeat chorus
