With rapt silence I watch the clouds pass by
I thought you were near
Who said so ?
The buzz of the bees have flooded my garden today
And the winds sway in the breeze.
Dusk says to dawn
Let love making be eternal
Crisp and clear
So your absence is my presence
My heaven resides in you
So do my dreams
And my half painted stories
When you are home,
That time will be only mine.
I will steal you from the maddening crowd
And let you falter not.
Because you have flooded my bosom
With the grace of the divine.
And who should be untying my pony ?
The knots of my anklet,
So be it,
I pray for your safe return
Till then I turn to the gaudy butterfly.
