Fair Eyes
Feel as you may
See nothing but lies
The lines and creases around your eyes
Oh, how I do miss that smile.
Come, show me
Where do you hide?
Will you gather your things
With the coming of the tide?
Do you watch the sea
From upon your cliff?
Till the wind and sand
Have whipped you, cold and stiff?
The yacht you once so loved
Has been set adrift
How many memories through
Do you sift?
Do you recall the last time
you felt so alive?
Fair Eyes, the world is different now.
Spread your wings and fly.
