I read the book of sighs
Chapter one your eyes
I put a feather in and closed the book up tight
it was all that I could handle for one night
I read the part on lips
part, wet, breath, and then kiss
I put the feather in and closed the covers tight
it was too much to endure for just one night
The book of sighs
of lows and highs
an inside look
a thinking book
a page of hope
on how to cope
a place of dreams
of plots and themes
of loving lies
and broken ties
of how we met
of no regret
of joy and yet...
There were other books to read
the book of hope, the one on need
and though I had the book of you
I never got to chapter two
I read the book of sighs
Chapter one your eyes
I put a feather in and closed the book up tight
it was all that I could handle for one night

Full sail
Full heart
No course
No chart
Going
Nowhere
Got to
Get there
Alone we’re side by side
We’re drifting on the tide
She’s drifting on the tide
She’s bending to the breeze
And flying past the beach
Above a cloud ballet
The sky an easy reach
She’s running with the wind
Like running to a friend
Full sail
Full heart
No course
No chart
Going
Nowhere
Got to
Get there
She’s running with the wind
Like running to a friend
Gracefully, she’s at sea
Steered by you
Dreamed by me
She’s bending to the breeze
And flying past the beach
Above a cloud ballet
The sky an easy reach
She’s running with the wind
Like running to a friend
Gliding in song
Shadows grow long
Homeward we start
Full sail, full heart
Full sail
Full heart
No course
No chart
Going
Nowhere
Got to
Get there
Just drifting on the tide

Into another world
Where time slows
Red rock meets blue sky
Peace of mind
Echoes on ancient walls
Surround you
Soft reflection
Scene selection
Ground connection
Heart inspection
Mood correction
Thought collection
Calm reflection
New direction
Float back down through time
Into another world
Where time slows
Red rock meets blue sky
Peace of mind
Echoes on ancient walls
Surround you
So peaceful

Long summer days
the bird-song in the trees,
a fort made out of hay
a screen porch thunderstorm.
When all was new,
a tumble in the grass,
two fawns go dancing past,
the endless stripes of corn.
A barefoot mood,
another ballgame lost,
a field one lonely horse,
a bike ride ice cream cone.
When all was new,
a Monday barbecue,
so much nothing to do,
there’s no such thing as more.
A glint of trout,
a chocolate snout,
a bed of hay,
a splash of cool,
no school.
The pennies laid
upon the track,
the whistle blows,
I’ll ride in the caboose,
you’re free
It was always summer
when there were trains
The rippled sun,
a pond lit up by sails,
a fish with just one cast,
this world will always be
one that is new,
the child inside of you,
the thrilling rumble now,
you will remember
it was always summer in our hearts
through the spring rain
When there were trains
When there were trains
The rippled sun,
a pond lit up by sails,
a fish with just one cast,
this world will always be
one that is new,
the child inside of you,
the thrilling rumble now,
you will remember
it was always summer in our hearts
through the spring rain
When there were trains
When there were trains
