The Edge of Me

Blissful music plays around my head...
Up on the hill I sit with all things said...
In a rocking chair that leans on the edge of me...
I cast my hands out to the clouds and fly free...
Caressing these pillows in the sky till I make them rain...
Then massaging them back to white like a sunny picture frame...
Over your sky I travel with the promise to barely make a sound...
Just a whisper in your ear that  I will always be around...

You made a rain on her sky, drenching her overheated heart. "Just a whisper in your ears that I always be around.. " I love this, Michael. :)
