These Winds
she lives in a sail
drift on a promise
of delicate details
her ark is a shipwrecked
touch 'til she breathes
love's whisper passing
& laying down reeds
caroline the shy girl
made only of air
breathlessly singing
on a wing & a prayer
secrets that shadow
lie in the deep
carried along
& laid down to sleep
these winds
& cold, dark rain
blows, breaks
& remains
josephine's beauty
she hides with a veil
speaks reassuring
but her voice is frail
dancing covertly
afraid we might fall
sweep me away
& feel nothing at all
these winds
& cold, dark rain
blows, breaks
& remains
