Tonight the Sky

Her head lay back in blankets soft white down Her hair warm Autumn colours, floating Our days were classroom poems, true young love Some nights we roar like lions, some we coo like doves I left her long ago one summer, chasing dreams I hummed good sweet explosions? sweet nothings I broke her heart not knowing she'd return And graven scars deep in me, forever I hear my sleeping sister In the early morning hours I hear her though it's silent Standing over me now Tonight the skies Will open for you Mountains and big clouds Divide us in two She fell into his arms, his sweet strong kiss She made her perfect gardens in this? World that turned its back, shook things round In time it took our loving sister down I met my fallen Angel one last time I promised always through me she would shine I held her hands, I sunk into her heart Til powers unrelenting, pulled us apart I saw my sleeping sister Rising toward a light A mist above the skyline On that neverending night Tonight bright stars Are shining for you Oceans and full moons Deep midnight blue I woke up every morning Not believing her to be gone Outside the doves and sparrows Carried on Building now so sweetly Settled into spring Outside the kids in their yards Laughing? I loved you like no other Your eyes I can't erase Your voice it wakes me always Pouring down from space Like warm sun rays You're turning into Wind sails on cool bays I'm watching for you Tonight the skies Are open for you Mountains and big clouds Dividing in two
