“Return To Me” (Song)

By Athena Stairs, November 4, 2025

Return to me
Oh journeying soul
Of youthful and painful toiling

Let not more time
Pass beyond our acquisition
For we’ve worked earnestly to gain rewards

Why chase false leads
Down broken promise roads
When we’ve found love’s truths revealing?

Surely you and I
Have developed Wisdom’s Eye to
Differentiate Same from Different meaning

A Return To Innocence, In Dreams, Reclamation

When You Give

Curtains are drawn as lights go down
No one else will hear a single sound
Unless we want them to

I touch your face as fingers trace
Tenderly kissing we now embrace
Joy releases our need to confiding

Free to share our secrets in the dark
How I’ve longed to feel your beating heart!
And all the world is quieting

Making space for our colliding
In a union that fate’s providing

Our souls lifted as flying
I’m yours in every breath

Squished-Up Happy

She usually greatly disliked photos of herself – possibly becauss her youngest enjoyed catching her in extreme, playful expressions where her dimensions would become greatly distorted.

But her nervous tension over the subject diminished when she thought of the prospect of his features also being squished-up happy alongside her.

In fact, the thought made her laugh and smile.
