Folding In on a Lonely Sky

No need for moody melodrama

When skies come crashing all around

And feral winds blow this way, that way

As the rains flood on the ground.

 

Peaks and valleys hold no challenge to

The bold adventurer who

Seeks to know the golden sun

Obscured beyond the bleary blur.

 

And I am you and you are I,

And we together harmonize to

Open pathways to a bright tomorrow

Beneath friendly skies.

 

The clouds that purloin bliss and joy

Are naught but vapors on the wind.

The masquerade of a blithesome sun

Anxious to spread joy again.

 

Infinite heavens have no measure

In our limp insipid eyes.

Dreams of hope and happiness

Live beyond the lonely skies.
