i lick the rain from my lips
and kiss the moon goodnight in hopes of tasting the stars that you dream under
when you're lucky enough to sleep beneath a clear sky
and for your sake
i hope the clouds will always part for you come nightfall
and i wish the sun to dance across the apples of your cheeks as you smile
as sunbeams dot your face with pigmented music notes
and constellations waiting to be named
i hope you're smiling now
and day-dreaming
of rugged landscapes fading to rust as the thunder whispers the blues through the stillest night
i hope you smile when you think of me
seated around a cluttered table with extension cord lighting and a cheap beer
or rambling down a dirt road
or a metra track
don't forget that i'm magic
and that you are too
i hope that your favorite flowers bloom in fragrant plumes wafting high enough to cross the heavily guarded walls you've resurrected
i hope you won't spend a single second scared
or lonely
out there in the "great wide open"
but mostly i hope you'll never forget the road back west
to the desert dust i flourish in
