I breathed in the vagrant breeze
in a lovelorn fool's hope
That it carries but a stray whisper
That would serve as my release
The breeze sighed itself away
And with it hope took wing
And I sat under a lonely sky
And heard the requiem for a dying day
Night dawned early
In an unbroken monochrome
The sullen moon rose -
Night's eternal company
The moon cast elusive shadows
The trees ceased to whisper
The birds dreamed of music
And furtive flights across green meadows
I closed my weary eyes
And the stars winked within
I dreamed of limpid pools,
still waters and lonely isles
In that dream of dreary longing
Your face echoed, rippled, bloomed
A smile fluttered into the skies
That grew brilliant at the seam
Mute colors metamorphosed
Into brillian raucous hues
Those sang of love and wonder
And solitude's bittersweet brew
I awoke to muted thunder
And clouds that framed your face
Your smile shone through moist eyes
The sun peeped out in a haze
