at the tip of cloudy fingers
on our sky's hand
lies a rainbow insensate
like a mortal band

basking in its own glory
does the image fade
in the steps of own reflection
beauties of world fade

in these pure insular nights
your memories meet my heart
woven by love's lonesome sight
silence breaks it apart

neutered by your choking dreams
it drowns in streams of gloom
swinging through fierce extremes
a witness to my doom

some say so much, expose their love
some lives speak on no more
few bloom like an artist's love
some die like waves on shore

it spreads far and wide
grows into your being
light of knowledge bright
in all flames seen

with rays of endless joy
fill voids of dark which creep
for stars are not destroyed
in foggy nights so deep

though loneliness midnight
may try and steal your vigor
keep burning like a lamp
while shadows 'neath grow bigger

every yawning dawn which breaks
across the valleys see
look how glowing heavens wake
and shine all of her being

freed again from slumbers dark
to color shadows turn
on a journey day embarks
with promise to return

for a sun which gently peeks
through sky overcast
glides into my summer breeze
through this love of ours

so beneath first evening star
birds fly off to nests
splashing myriad hues afar
sun hurries to the west

how heavens sequin her sky
with glowing stars and moon
like fragrances in forest night
she fades in blissful swoon

here lie some cozy dreams
in eyes of silent shelves
all in nights when she is
her own tranquil self

what does he most fear
what's he scared to lose
chained to dreams in sleep
a life he did not choose

how did all this start
whisper in my mind
am i only a dream
to your roots confined?

for silently i burn
afraid of ambiguity
scared in every moment
by farce of reality

and if its all a dream
as you'd have me believe
tell me o men of wise
what a tree does dream

just for it is indeed
alive as you and me
conscious of space and time
amidst eternal stream

does it wish be freed
of earthy shackles deep
of towering limbs in light
and slender fingers green

to break the nature's vow
and silently set free
its spirit bearing fruit
from love's primordial seeds

free from soils of world
when this tree does sleep
as your world wakes up
you still dream through me

as a cloud slips out
from hands of mountain queen
it questions its existence
it questions its belief

with one hazy walk
feeling all it sees
flies it through the sky
curious of its being

but world's a stranger yet
in lesser realms of sea
a shiny pearl of glass
on edge of floorless being

in mystery that pervades
did often wonder he
standing still in awe
what does freedom mean

to all of what it asked
and all what it sees
closed both eyes and heard
the call of its belief

"in all which forces flow
in all prayers which heal
into your song of life
purge my lonely being"

one that cannot freight
or be swayed away
with your force of faith
in my modest way

feeling so pure in heart
my love so bright and true
bless my brand new start
this gracious gift from you

sift like sand from hands
i am free to go
like your sky so grand
i long to be pure
