In the wind your wings do shake Spread wide against the sky I spread my fingertips far apart Trying to mimic the way you blossom When the sun is out I spread my arms out to touch the sea My eyelids are waves They lick the shore line Lashes full of sand, the dream-heavy kind Open and I see visions of the dahlias dancing Close and there is a swallowing darkness Flicks of light reminding me there is a World unknown on the other side Stop-motion Time-lapse I flashback to nights of poetry And it is sunrise again
