A Song for Sunlight

shadows in the window reach

the glass is cracked and thin

my hands on ears that cannot close

I sing

I sing again

a warbling high

a lullaby

tears tighten the pitch

shadows in the window reach

I sing

I sing again

blanket shield me from the dark

pillow take me down

let me sleep right through the night

bring me straight to dawn

I long for golden feathers brushing

softly through the sky

when the sun is flying there

the clouds can never cry

sweet melody

of daylight's heart

it lingers on my tongue

shadows in the windows reach

I sing until

they're gone
