you want your movements
to be light as a dancer’s
you want to warm their souls
like the sunlight shining through
you’ve always wanted so badly
to be able to open their hearts
it’s that late night feeling
that drifts into soft mornings
when your breath is edged in velvet
and only you can hear the sun
of the coming day
stop saying these things
overlapping and on top of
the thoughts no one else will ever know
so why are you so afraid
to capture the sunlight
the swift sound of fabric in everything
moving through the night
when you ride home all alone
no one will hear you singing so loud
so go on sing out of key
the sunlight doesn’t care.
