So Far the Miles
At nightfall when tenderness wakes
somewhere between crumbs of feet,
when gulls dive to taste the bay
and foggy breeze flapping sweet.
My eyes stroll on plays of pine
where fireflies and moonbeams meet
to cherish scent of good night’s day
a purple bough spills hopeful treat
come now the rhythm of blue night
lay me down on feathers' bark
oh, rock the leaves for just one touch
so far the miles, bring wishes back
I feel my winds call him, dear one
on huffs upon my new bridal chest
while gales croon a longing tune
splendor of light, fill this request.
As tides of passages scan the flights
missing waltzes, I feign a rest
captive in remains of rewinds,
just one last sigh for war’s fierce test
come now the rhythm of blue night
lay me down on feathers’ bark
oh, rock the leaves for just one touch
so far the miles, bring wishes back
