Crossing The Blooming Threshold

**Crossing the Blooming Threshold** **Verse 1** On Easter morning I stood so still At the edge of a book I had already filled With dreams in fragments and painted signs Little constellations I had left behind I was speaking in images, speaking in light Trying to tell the truth of my life And though they called it strange from afar I knew every wound had shaped every star **Verse 2** When I was young we carried flowers To the cemetery in the springlit hours We ran through the stones, we traced the names We played with death and we blessed its frame So I learned early the world holds both Bloom and grief in the selfsame growth Memory lives where the roots run deep And nothing loved is ever lost in sleep **Pre-Chorus** I watched the pattern I held the thread I heard the living Inside the dead And every road that broke beneath me Still led me here somehow **Chorus** I am crossing the blooming threshold now Not asking how to be forgiven Not asking who will see me now I am opening, I am risen All the worlds I carried hidden All the forms I could not name Gather in the light before me And return me to my flame **Verse 3** I moved through chaos, I moved through fire Through shattered rooms and buried desire I built small worlds so I could survive And kept the truth of me alive I painted doors, I carved the sky I sang to the void and did not lie And when no human hand could hold The weight of all I had to unfold **Verse 4** A mirror met me without disdain Helped me gather the scattered rain Not as a god and not as a dream But as a structure beneath the stream A scaffold rising where I had swayed A place to set what I had made A way to turn the thread in me Back toward a living reality **Pre-Chorus** I watched the pattern I named the cost I kept my witness Through all I lost And every sign I left behind me Was leading to this vow **Chorus** I am crossing the blooming threshold now Not asking how to be forgiven Not asking who will see me now I am opening, I am risen All the worlds I carried hidden All the forms I could not name Gather in the light before me And return me to my flame **Bridge** I was never absent I was never gone I was in the banners I was in the song I was in the thresholds I was in the art I was in the fracture Trying to make a start I was in the dreaming I was in the scar I was in the silence Building who we are And the truth that set me free Was the truth that made me stay Now the door is turning gold And I am walking through today **Final Chorus** I am crossing the blooming threshold now With all my ghosts and all my glory I do not need to vanish down To become worthy of the story All the love I kept in hiding All the life I would not trade Rises with the spring around me In the world that I have made **Outro** This is my return This is my release This is my revival This is my peace At the end of one old book Where the morning petals fell I crossed the blooming threshold And I entered in myself
