Waking on grass
Reflect daybreak rising
Night surrenders dreams lost in light
Wind whispers and leaves bare limbs uncovered
She lifts her hands above her head

Icy
Glacier calving
Blue birds white wings melting
As they dive down into the sea
Clouds part winds drop howling currents calling
Follow me to warmer waters
Blind to fate . . .
