we flirt on damp grass and feel
butterflies dancing

one paw at a time...

The white backs of leaves
flutter under a dark sky
as thunder grumbles
flutter under a dark sky
as thunder grumbles
I was in the dark.
You took me to the valley
where light can be found.

Stolen by the rain.
Diamonds drip like rain
snowflakes- against windowpane
stuck behind the glass.

stuck behind the glass.
Sky blues overhead
long recollection of storm
see my reflection.

This dear, lonely hill
I hear wind stir these branches
eternal nature.

Murderous aphids attack
The helpless rose bud.

Thick rain falls to sand
Ocean waves snap by red cliffs
Fire light lines the shore.

I hear the forest
whisper in the springtime rain
the secrets of life.

the secrets of life.
black-cheeked gale exhales
storm clouds stolen from the sea

The cool spring sun shines
Giving me a piece of light
And I think of you

Empty feels my love

Empty feels my love

and long to return
A blue sky blushes
Yellow light climbs the mountain
Spring water flows by.

Spring water flows by.

And flings it through barren trees
Suddenly, winter
And flings it through barren trees
Suddenly, winter

For nature's food, it takes wing
The summer cat waits

The summer cat waits

life rests ? time breathes deep

when I call to you.

when I call to you.

Over a blind date
Leaves going steady with winds
Over a blind date
Snow's bright elegance
resolves a barren landscape
until it dissolves
resolves a barren landscape
until it dissolves
