You Will Know
What if my dune mind dries in the desert
Dream clouds of parched passion don’t come low
Make your shifting shadow overcast my heart
My horizon will wait for the south wind to blow
Bring your mystique clouds in sunset glow
In spectral surge in the desert desire will flow.
What if you are a tree in the flourishing forest
Branches send to the satin sky your sheen
For a while in your shade I will rest
See the canopy capture the gleam under sunscreen
Hear the song the leaves sing with the rain serene
Sink in your fathomless elegance where I haven’t been.
What if the yearning river in my valley gets lost
The flowers wither in the garden turning fallow
I will preserve some, the ones you like the most
In my wasteland sapling of hope will again grow
When the rains will bring you through the rainbow
The flowers will embrace you, it’s me you will know.
