You Came Like a Cloud
You came like a cloud promising rain over the mountain of my fears
To court the crops with life
And soak the thirsty soil to love again.
I tasted you barely ... a whiff of words wind blown here
A mirage of an oasis in a desert of dessicating sand
A phantom in the opera
Coloring song ... where are you now?
Why are you gone
When I was poise like a marble of dew on a tip of a leaf
How shall I hold against the splashing fall of grief
In the silence of your world
Have you taken a sudden voyage in an urge to fly
Have you fallen from the giddy height we were to climb
Are you broken beyond heart repair
Shall you speak to me again here?
Where are you days' void and night's meaninglessness
When scholars tell stars are glowing bags of gas
And day is the fiction of desire?
Are you safe ... do I pray in vain
Shall change in life's weather bring us rain?
I miss our conversation about beggining and depths
Of faith we climb to greet our pain
I miss the prospects of our love
O what did I write from a fluttering heart
That frightened committement and frittered us apart
If I could flatter you now with my pen
I would tell the same truths of love again
My beautiful, distant moon, in your western realm afar
My heart waits for you like a dorr ajar.
