  As Some May See

  Sky so blue with clouds of white

  while past the tangled branches, high

  we see the sun with second sight.

  Above the hillsides, green and bright,

  where swallows play and breezes sigh;

  sky so blue with clouds of white

  Although inside, the dark of night

  a shining glint may catch our eye...

  we see the sun with second sight

  We may not know wherefore this light

  but rays of yellow deftly tie

  sky so blue with clouds of white

  The spring unlocks the winter's bite

  and flowers bloom with colors, sly

  we see the sun with second sight

  I wish I may, I wish I might

  have the wish I wish tonight;

  sky so blue with clouds of white...

  we see the sun with second sight.

  In the Wing of a Breeze

  In the flash of a moment

  I see the shadow of something

  I believe to be real

  though hard to imagine it's so

  it escapes me over and over again

  it is so hard to tell

  what is true from what is false

  when the slipknot of desires

  comes apart

  in her gentle fingers

  The spark of the shade

  kindles a cool breeze

  that whistles just as I do

  when I can just barely remember

  what had gone so well

  in mostly forgotten, still recalled

  moments of clarity

  where the mists were untied

  like the sash on a robe

  to a moth's embrace
