Lonely Breeze

I had to guide the lonely breeze again to the chords of a swinging chime And the wounded steps of a wedding rhyme Through the gust of precarious choice and the distressed rain’s choice to fall I had to ride the raindrops’ uneasy sway on tested follicles so immune to time And the shaky endurance that seeks to slay the howling winds I had to find a home for praise so it resides in their smothered din That still retains the roaring wish to insert a calm inside And safe from the withered embrace… And there lies all pride denied And duets that failed and testified To swollen seas that broke a lonely wave To a lonely breeze that swerved and turned away
