Two suns in a day…
One sitting by me,
The other, in her way,
Perched heavenly.
How the universe
Throws me so
The heavens ablaze
And the earth aglow.
How could I doubt
The rising sun?
Oh what a thought
For eyes so won.
Here I was taken
To sit with you,
Found life mistaken
When I saw two.
May your words
Flutter into my ear
Like stories
Our ancestors told…
Singing the ecstasy
Of golden summers,
Nesting the prayers
Of winters old.
Where are your eyes?
Behind them.
There your sun was born,
And since…?
Oh the winds
Life has known,
Oh the winds
They carry chance.
Of our fledgling words
An almond honey dew
Springs in a shiver of downy
In a way tongue cannot bloom .
In sunlight sound,
Drink the colors
Of autumn
At once.
Heavy
Spell binding
A taste behind
Falling curtains.
All that has left
So silently,
Wanders among weeds,
Savors sweat as wine
And carnal company…
What of the eastern sun
Which never sets?
What of the whispered tongue
Upon a lovers lips?
All that has left,
Parted with the wind,
And the warmth beneath
The dearest wing.
Sing…
Sing…
Sing…
What of the eastern sun
Which never sets?
What of the whispered tongue
Upon a lovers lips?
I know love
Lets no wicked rest.
And I know grace
Weighs heavy
Upon my chest.
Let me tell you
About the moon,
As it watches
Over us
Tonight…
What whispers
Will we find
In the warm winds
Of summer?
Let us be
Overwhelmed
By the westward clouds,
And feel how
Life presses upon us.
What if a thought, perhaps a few,
In every snowflake that fell for you,
Where to chime in its own way?
They all would, though indifferently…
Theirs is not a frosty hymn.
I know they came from a warmer spring.
Past the mountains in unknown groves,
A sun implored them… and now lets go.
The charm of a sun,
Those golden rays.
A wild grass undone,
Golden, reaches…sways.
I heard the rain outside today
And a robin singing away.
I thought which way his song would sway,
Because I heard the rain outside today.
