Favorite Quote:
&quot;The only true love I ever knew<br /> Was behind those downcast eyes<br /> The only comfort I ever felt<br /> Was during those long hours of loneliness<br /> When I felt for you<br /> I do believe<br /> Only innocence can save the world...&quot; -Ocean Soul

The storm has ended
The silence returns to the forest
This hallowed sanctuary where I lay
Waiting for dawn to carry me home

Back to warmth
Back to peace
Where I may sleep
In the sun god's arms

Waking to the earth's music
The chirping of birds, my lullaby
The wilderness stirs me from slumber
When the purifying rain begins once more...

The author's comments:
This song came to me walking outside one cool crisp morning after a rainstorm, when all was silent except the sounds of nature...
