Another Day

I turned my head to an azure sky
But felt the rain fall down instead
My hair swept back from wicked winds
And I knew you were gone

I wanted to reach out through the desert sands
Let my fingers feel your desert hand
Unleash the power of a heart untamed
Allow my heart to feel the wind again

I heard you found another lover
And that I was forgotten in time
Another day, another light, another soiled cover
Another lament hidden in tattered rhyme

I wish I knew a different way
I wish I could turn your heart with my song
But instead I'll turn my head into the whipping rain
And hope to see the sun

On Being Loved

For a tiny moment, I was beautiful
