The same dream haunts me each night, I've never found my true love in this world,
and it's only in my dreams that I have seen her.

The old man looked into my eyes, and as he held my hands he said, think of her face.
As soon as I did, the old man smiled with surprise... I know her!

Impossible! How could you know her?

He said to me, a price must be paid.

I got up from the table and began to walk away.

Then the old man said, this one you seek, she is in a desert land am I right?
And she is the embodiment of nature itself, and I know her name.

I stopped and turned around, please tell me. The price must be paid first, he answered.

What's the price medicine man?

You must buy a special parcel of land, I will show you where.
Then he walked outside, and we walked only a short distance from his house
when he said, here, this is the place.

I looked down and saw a strange but beautiful flower on a mound of earth,
and I asked, is this a grave?

The medicine man looked at me, and said no. But this girl you know of, is somewhere
you have never been, she doesn't know you, but that will change tonight.

Then he asked me to give him all the money in my wallet.

I counted out $200.00 dollars and gave it to him, this is all I have.

He then said, Ali is my daughter.
She lived her whole life not ever finding her soul mate, no one understood her quiet power,
so she spent all her time alone, but never alone, she found peace with her friends in nature.

I don't understand you old man, are you saying she's dead?

The medicine man laughed, how can you meet with a dead person... no, she's very alive!

Ali came to me one day and said, father, I want to live forever!
I told her to come back to me later, and I would give her something special,
I made her a seeded necklace and told her to wear it all her days, and never get it wet.

She agreed, but soon forgot the price. I found her in the river,
and so I brought her to where she is now.
This flower grows from the necklace that she wears over her heart.

At hearing this all my hopes faded, this crazy man just broke my heart...
At that moment a tear ran down my face and dropped onto Alis flower,
and I began to hear her voice, she was singing!

I fell to the ground next to her flower, my eyes closed, it was like stepping through a portal
to another world, it was Alis heaven, the one given to her by her father.

And from a single teardrop, Ali knew my heart,
and she knew I was the one she had waited for, her eternal soul mate.
And in her heaven we will stay forever.

The key to this place
Is a cold ~ you know,
The real dispelled
Into the world ~ you know
Doubt, tasted, you fall in ~
Down you sink
Into her deep devour,

She's still the key holder ~
And through this portal,
She courts you now ~

Endowed with will
And a course your own ~
Bound by the despair
Of the shoreless hours ~

Heed this flame
Within the walled empire ~
This desire
Is all around ~

She's still the key holder ~
And through this portal,
She courts you now ~

If love be revealed
In the spark of an eye ~
Could all be redeemed
In the sea of time ~
If the stars embed
Like nails into the ground ~
From the unheard prayers
That have torn up the skies ~

Would you will it all away
As you sail on your way ~

My love is the light, let me feel it all day,
and the breezes at night, in the moonlight I'll sway.

Then I'll sleep in the darkness, but early I'll rise,
with the birds that are singing, and filling the skies.

And you ask...
With all of that wishing, you asked not for gold,
and how about your days, you will surely grow old?

And, I'll gladly reply...
The birds have no gold, but yet they do sing,
And to live and to die, is the order of things.

So wish not for anything you'll never find,
and love what you have, and have peace of mind.

And I have known this secret all along,
that we all have within us, our favorite song.
It plays in our mind, and summons the sun,
and saves us from the darkness... when we are sure it has won.

No one can hear it's beauty, as your song sweetly cries,
one may only glimpse it, within a tear from your eyes,
and it's there in a moment your hope might come true,
that someone might look past the surface, and see the real you.

Something that begins with "M" :)

He's such a cutie!

What will I give to a beautiful flower... warm sunlight in the morning.
And give her the stars and moon, to watch over her dreams by night.
I would let the gentle breezes rock her to sleep,
and kiss the drops that fall from heaven, onto her petel like cheek.
