Bittersweet

The breeze blows across my skin
And makes me feel alive. I know
I never really woke up today,
Drifting in a sleepy haze of
Other people's cares.

There's you, oddly silent
On a day when I don't need you yet
But I'd like to hold your hand.
There's a small patch of blue
Shining other people's cares.

Just wait, for the cold unconsciousness
To sweep across me once again
The sun will still be there tomorrow
But I don't expect to see it rise.
You'll tell me about the colours in the morning.

A notion that could be mistaken
For freedom. In reality, I am
Deflated, wandering and cold.
It's bittersweet, when will struggles to survive
The breeze blows across my skin
And makes me feel alive

Audacity

Pastel sky
And gently beaming
Lights, so far beneath my feet
The blurred lights
Make this feel like a dream

Sit there, eat
Sing aloud
Lie there
Sigh there
Counting stars and counting clouds.

No more than a whisper
And cars outside going by too fast
A softer world for you and I
Audacity to dream that it might last.
