the sun today
the sun today
reminds me what I had
and what's coming,
but will soon leave me
with a cold autumn night

I find out
I find out
that her eyes really aren't
dark blue-
should I still believe
the things she's told me?

the sun, the moon
the sun, the moon,
haven't seen either
for so long...
looking up at a grey sky,
no answers, no questions...

unfolding paper
unfolding paper,
reading words written with ink
in our past life,
when life was easier-
do you still read mine?

hearing, not seeing
hearing, not seeing
the limbs, the leaves, dancing
in the night-
is it caused by the wind,
or the wind by the dance?

summer left
summer left
without saying goodbye-
waking up
in the cool morning,
my arms holding a pillow

radio says
radio says
'severe thunderstorm warning'
and the word 'danger'-
laughing as I watch lightning,
thinking of a certain night...
.
(true story- bad weather today for a while)

nail after nail
nail after nail
I hammer onto my son
my past,
wanting immortality-
he smiles and walks away...

a certain curve
a certain curve
of the clouds from the west-
'our last time'
is something you've given me
so many times...

counting the years
counting the years,
so many have passed away,
smiling-
a rose in a vase
stands alone on the table
.
(today is our 20th wedding anniversary)

the cicadas
the cicadas
continue their drone,
not knowing
there are times
when silence is needed

in my mind, she is
in my mind, she is
still seventeen, but pictures
say otherwise...
glancing into the mirror,
just to be sure...

can my eyes
can my eyes
say more than my hand?
a thought,
while I stare
at the blank paper...

wondering when
wondering when
I see them again, or if,
my classmates....
slither of the moon slides
from cloud to cloud
.
(25th high school reunion tonight)

deafening sounds
deafening sound
of wind through river trees
bringing in
dark clouds, soon to drop
down lost memories

I've said
I've said
all I want to say
tonight
but the breeze
will tell you the rest

emerald eyes
emerald eyes
pierce through my dream, leaving
jasmine mist,
then only riverboats
speak to me

my friend, the wind
my friend, the wind,
brings clouds to comfort me
this hot summer day,
but the sun, however,
patiently waits....

as always
as always,
I decide what I'll tell you
and what I won't-
dogs, holding no secrets,
bark at the moon

driving by a lot
driving by a lot
that once held a part
of my school-
reminded once again
that things don't last for ever
