deeper shade
sunshine ringing
in my ears
too bright to see the blue
and the wind turns its back on me
no one notices
watching the silent heartbeat of the world
wondering if the sky ever wants to change its hue
is the sun ever
caught by the evening
does the rain ever rise back to heaven
does the sky
ever change its hue
do the birds ever
regret they flew for falling
do the flowers ever regret they bloomed for fading
does the sky
ever change its hue
as the sun takes
back the raindrops
as the sea takes back the waves
as the wind takes back my words
I fade into another kind of hue
as this day carries me along
I find a deeper shade of blue
