Twice Lost In June
Write it on Monday
and send it in June,
Pray that her lover
don't find it too soon.
Pass on the sunrise
but hold fast the moon,
Let go the promise
which opens old wounds.
Offer up friendship
that's hidden in time,
Dance to the music
shared by joy and rhyme.
Stare at the movements
coming from the mime,
Look to the mountains
that he'll never climb.
Shadows in ev'ning
cloud those that walk by,
Lost in yesterdays
and the tears they cry.
Somewhere in night's dream
two more secrets fly,
Leaving to angels
fantasies denied.
Look back through the years
then turn o'er the page,
Close the golden bars
of a gilded cage.
Ride the waves of tide
and collect a wage
For all that's been done
when upon life's stage.
Sit back and enjoy
the melodic tune
That carries the words
written on a dune.
Maybe she be there,
near your yellow moon,
Dreaming of a love
once sent off in June.
