Teach me

Teach me how to better love you
let me get it right
Show me how to be with you
across the darkest night

Teach me how to celebrate
the pearl that grows from pain
Gratitude for attitude
and joy for my refrain

Teach me how to hold you close
and how to let you go
Show me where to place my hand
to feel what we both know

Teach me how to speak your language
lest i fail to hear
Your thoughts in cadenced lyrics
whispered softly in my ear

Teach me how to see the beauty
eyes alone might miss
The color that your kindness wears
the brilliance of your kiss

Teach me how to love you, how
to cross the space between
Let me in i’m knocking on
the doorway of a dream ~
