Light touches upon the keys of life in the sky

Sunlight twinkling down through the clouds like so many ripples

Light touches change the fates of the clouds 

Swirling turning like so many gods on the sea

The sea of life that stretches around

And when I woke up again I heard no sound

The mind clear the path turning

Again and again and my thirst is bursting

Sometime along the quicksand time

Someone forgot to know how to rhyme

And the fates of the keys began to slip and not chime

Chiming begins the lilting waves

The trees on the ground whisper and sway

And I couldn't hear their words

For I was in the cave

Just too far far away

And the marbles like rain fell onto the jade

The porch so green it was almost burning

The gold in your eyes was turning turning

And I felt like the sea had spilled from the sky

And the voice on the wind couldn't lie or cry

But maybe there could be a way to sigh

Or a way to begin to begin to try

Sundrops dancing upon the dew

Fairy tales dancing claiming they're new

Is anything new

Is anything okay

The look in your eyes could have led me astray

To jump off a cliff of 1000 feet

Or lay for 1000 years in the street

Things are always more than they appear

Things are so far and so near so near

Globes of glowing sprinkling spray

What was the tune that got in the way

What was the key that undid the lock

What was the time that threw off the clock

I couldn't begin to know where to begin

With the voice of sound or sky or pen

The glass shattered in order to impress you

The light of the moon was always a mess too

And was there ever a way to find out a way

Or was the breeze in the night always going to carry us astray

Your voice on the breeze drifting in through my window

The waves on the beach and you on my pillow

The leaves on the trees they know how to ache

A thousand years is a whole lot to take

A thousand moons and seas and stars

A thousand million centuries far

Far far away from the lightning game

Is there a way for your sigh to ever be the same

Is there a way to dance in the rain

The colored globes in the snow and ice

Light up like ruby in the frosty light

The way the boardwalk spoke to the ocean

And the way the sand was still without motion

Is the way the choirs sing of the silence

Between the notes of the bells there was a ringing quiet

The hum began to whisper again

The words of tongue and whisper and pen

And the persimmon tree sat gently on the hill

The wishing well was a little bit still

Light danced upon the sparkling keys

Spray trickled in drops on the breeze

The lilies were cool in the forest rain

The staircase of valentina allegra de fontaine
