The Lioness Come to me. Come to me like the river's roar, like ravens at the morning's door. There's no knock; no bronzed lion to pound and wake, just yawning dawns; the lush daybreaks opening like sunrise. I, your troubadour will sing across your kitchen flo∨ enough warmth to stay the dark; to overtake each fear, each tear the wicked make slip your cheeks. Let my arms be your sacred shore; may loneness haunt you nevermore. I, the flawed, give you my sovereign heart to take-- each bounty, glory, each mistake forgiven; clasping hands through destiny's door. Let us be fearless. Let us roar.
