i woke unrested
to a day without the sun
frantically sending
my love in waves
to gently wash over
the wildflowers

in lulls between
the downpour of rain
the sparrows sing
a dirgeful symphony
to dark skies above

i murmur poetry
a chain of passionate kisses
embers floating
through the aether
to find her perfect lips
my slumbering love stirs
as i travel beneath
an ocean of gray
