i hear the rain
before i know
day is nearly come
somewhere
beyond the shadows –
another sun

i hear your breath
above the strain
of raindrops
on the roof
warmth to fill this moment –

where you are me
and i am you

i know this song
ten thousand birds –
words you taught me well
a melody of memories
mysteries
for sale

i feel the rain
i need your touch
a gathering of wings
fulfill my need
for heaven –
for light
the morning brings

. . .
