Up In the Sun

The only eyes I see in the mirror are my own..
A chasing step through a dark forest to my way home..
A welcome glimpse into the sun where Angels play all day..
I shout out my words and blow a kiss to some with wings frayed..
My white jacket is a little off color and tainted with shades of blue..
It was so easy to run and cry in the rain, my tears blended and never true..
I will just wink my eye and wave goodbye,"see you on the other side".
When all is said and confirmed, hope to be in that sun and on a steady ride..
