Blues

You want to set a sky of blue and worrying doubt?
Forget the chance to choose a windless sound…
Some haunting nights you rue for ringing true
For knowing that you do inside revive the blues
Sometimes the raging thing in you a me denies
A phantom ray anew revives the cloud inside
Resides on blue shadows of moonless nights
And flies a sparrow’s trail without disguise
And fights to creep beside the passing blues
Embrace the cry beneath the tacit truth
Replace a rogue goodbye not meant for you
And grace a soothing lie that bears no good
