Living Within a City Revisited

CONNECTION TO MY HEART

As I step outside
to view the evening sky
I think of you
wondering if you see the stars too;
and I know
there's a connection to my heart.

When I hear our song
playing on the radio
the memories are there
of all the times we shared;
and I know
there's a connection to my heart.

Though we're apart
with miles in between
this stirring that's inside
of a love I can't deny
tells me
you are the connection to my heart.



NOCTURNE

Sleep
like a gentle rain
falls upon my face,
and I succumb
softly
to its embrace.

Evening
casts its shadow
upon the wall,
dancing fairies
gravitate
as I fall.

Dreams
like special friends
beckon me their way,
into silent rapture
Forever
but I can't stay.

Morning
spreads its sunshine
across the covers of my bed.
Dreams remain
treasured
framed within my head.


WAITING (Again)

Part way past midnight
as the clock hand turns
we're suspended in lost seconds
waiting for tomorrow to come.
Part way past midnight
limbo is our world;
wasted moments hanging
we sit staring at a wall.
Part way past midnight
ticking the only sound;
conversation held at bay
waiting for tomorrow to come.


BECAUSE THE NIGHT

Because the night
began in darkness
my soul was blinded
to your sweet love.

As if the time
were not foretelling
something inside
told me to run.

Because the night
was veiled in secrets
I missed the life
I might have known.


LIVING WITHIN A CITY

Another lonely evening
looking to the towers
as Kong looked to his island
Paradise.

Seeing not the framing,
but a rising above the city
free from its grasp.

To be free,
away from the crowd;
to be home,
my dream unfulfilled.

Living within a city
within my mind;
oh, to be free
and home again once more.
