Misting Quiet Skies

under the misting quiet skies

a crow drifts west — its shadow long

the trees exchange their peaceful sighs

as vespers bring the voice of calm

 

a crow drifts west  — its shadow long

under the misting quiet skies

the earth deep in thought and wonder

asking questions with no answer

 

the trees exchange their peaceful sighs

a crow drifts west  — its shadow long

under the misting quiet skies

its heart knows true which way home lies

 

as vespers bring the voice of calm

the trees exchange their peaceful sighs

a crow drifts west  — its shadow long

under the misting quiet skies

 


Rain clouds gather…

I listen for love’s sweet music

I wander through both fire and rain

love’s contradictions tear my eyes

frustration sings a sad refrain

 

as skies grow dim — and night draws near

I listen for love’s sweet music

I watch as the world sharp and clear

begins to fade ‘neath gloaming skies

 

each shining thing I dive to claim

through beat of heart or soulful sigh

I listen for love’s sweet music

I call to love — get no reply

 

like a crow soaring open sky

my wings recall that dream to fly

my soul still burns — my heart stays true

I listen for love’s sweet music
