A Return To Innocence, Reclamation, Songs, Where Demons Tread

Never Fade (Song)

By Athena Stairs – November 5, 2025

Remember me
Do not fade

Though time has pulled you away again

Remember me
Do not fade

I’m here
You’re the reason I comprehend

Waiting
We’re always waiting

Debating
We’re always hesitating

Neither one to blame
Don’t let them own your flame
Someday you’ll cut that chain and we’ll reclaim home again

Struggle isn’t what you think
Just a trick in how you blink
A balance to be struck that claim’s your wings my friend

Remember
It’s our destiny to push beyond these boundaries

On sacred paths we’ve been tracing
Love’s grace will guide your heart to me

Keep walking straight by what you know
Emotions like waves have ebbs and flows

Remember
Do not fade

Know that you’re more than worthy

Remember
Do not fade

These fears are only worries

Remember
Do not fade, my love

Remember
Do not fade, you’ve won

Remember
Never fade for I walk beside you

“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
