I gave my heart to shifting shores, And watched it fade away— I called it love, I called it fate, Till nothing chose to stay. But in the hush beyond the loss, Where all I knew was gone, You called me back to breath and blood, And held me into dawn. Be wise now, Ariadne… Your ears are small—they belong to me. Let one true word be placed within— A word you’re meant to keep. We turn as though in distant silence, As though we drift apart— Yet even so, it is our fate To move within one heart. I am the path you cannot leave, The pulse you’re moving through— I am your labyrinth, Ariadne… And I am life in you. No longer lost between the tides, No name I have to hide— I stand within your rising call, And do not turn aside. Be wise now, Ariadne… And hear what does not break— I am your labyrinth, Ariadne… You are no more forsaken.
