There are times when I find you in a cloud Wispy white Against pale blue Somber grey Framed by silver Bruised violet Backlit with tangerine And I wonder about you Little cloud I wonder

And so, I will drink This whiskey And pray for its rust To build me an iron heart And when it rattles, When it bangs with life I will close these eyes, And summon my tears To fall on another land For I wish only for salt To appear in a crevice In a corner That I can wipe Clean

Watch how I rise Only for my wings to be clipped Feathers float They are lifted On a gentle breeze Arms outstretched I reach out to the blue above Desperate to grab, and hold And cling To what is meant to carry me to My Tomorrow It lies beyond my reach And what better way to arrive Than flight But my wings! My feathers have escaped them My heart becomes a hammer These hands full of dreams Become a fist And I know what I must do

#1 Luminous sun Light a flame within me And warm the chilling sadness That clings to my bones — — — — — — — — — — #2 Loosing you Is like Watching the last petal Fall

#1 A star explodes And trails across the sky I remember you I remember the days of us gone by — — — — — — — — — — #2 Here I stand A kaleidoscope of purple, blue and grey And early morning peach rays Because of You — — — — — — — — — — #3 You are Hazy A white out A fog so thick I have to reach for a straw To drink you in

#1 Look up And let bird song set your heart A flight — — — — — — — — — — #2 I reach I stretch I unfurl And then tomorrow I will glow — — — — — — — — — — #3 Blush brighter Little firefly The days are dark But you have become my night light
