. How difficult It‘s become To speak beyond The idioms of routine To tell the truth I couldn’t care less What new movies There are Being shown in town To the east of us The factory lights Glow red and blue Under a canopy of stars Be as you were . . . Or as I dreamed you were If words fail Let them bow Silent and still Let them do no harm On this desert of now So separate selves With a look in your eyes Bring a gentle rain As will nourish the need With a touch of your hand Let memory of that moisture Suddenly grow and flow Stirring again a river inside A freshet with me Falling for you Moment by moment Toward the sea . |
