Between Two Lights

I stepped out of the marriage like a season breaking;

My old name falling like rain through the pines;

Then you came with a gentler kind of healing;

And you came with a fire that still shines;

I never heard the map beyond the ending;

Now my heart is a house with two doorways open wide;

I stand in the hush between the moon and morning;

Listening for a voice I can trust;

Both of you pull me toward a different harbor;

And I am only learning how to be just me;

I love you, though, and

I don't know how to say it;

When every answer melts like snow in my hand;

One is a river, one is a steady mountain;

And I am the girl who finally takes her stand;

Between two lights,

I don't know which one leads me home;

One of you remembers the scars

I tried to hide;

One of you lies, so makes the shadows lie;

One of you speaks like a prayer in the evening;

One of you holds me until the stars feel right;

I keep looking for a sign written in the ceiling;

But all

I find are my own footprints in the sand;

I stand in the hush between moon and morning;

Listening for a voice I can trust;

Both of you pull me toward a different harbor;

And I'm only learning how to be just me;

I love you both and

I don't know how to say it;

When every answer melts like snow in my hands;

One is a river, one is a steady mountain;

And I am the girl who finally takes a stand;

Between two lights,

I don't know which one leads me home;

Maybe love is not a door with only one key;

Maybe my soul is wide enough to wander;

Maybe I must lose the life

I thought I needed before;

Find a woman growing under;

If I do, let it be from truth and not from faith;

If I stay, let it be with my whole heart, please;

I love you, though;

And I don't know how to say it;

When every answer was like snow in my hands;

One is a river, one is a steady mountain;

And I am the girl who finally takes a stand;

Between two lives,

I don't know which one leads me home;

So I'll breathe in the dawn and let it come;

No more hiding from the rising sun;

Between two lights, I will learn my name;
