Sheer clouds dress the moon with their kaleidoscopic robes
Adorning her glow with praise of undulating odes
That make love to her light to form a brilliant halo
You can ask them to stay but you know that they must go
Go and drift on through the night, ride the wind and dissipate
Reforming, fractalizing and always recreating
Themselves in every moment - every move into new shapes
Cloaking the heavens with their gossamer capes
So Drift on, Sweet Ghost
Though your beauty is astounding
And I want to hold you close
The wind will blow you back again
Maybe as clouds maybe as rain
We'll meet again as mighty
As the ocean to the coast
As you rove across the skies you let the music of the wind
Fill your sails and breathe you forth and morph you from within
Building up and billowing the plumes to house your dreams
Knowing that the building blocks are forces yet unseen
And on summer afternoons you build up castles so robust
To hold the floating water before releasing it to trust
And I'll meet you in the middle as I rise up from the ground
In electrifying union - we are light and sound unbound
In the drifting shifting mystery
What can we do - but make the most?
Oh sweet ghost
We're all made up of atoms that just hover, buzz and such
Though they dance around each other they can never really touch
Grasping at the clouds is just like chasing after wind
You can never get a hold of the seeming solid state of skin
So I'll stand atop a mountain and let the breeze blow through my bones
Til I know the love I feel is like the underlying drones
Of the crickets and cicadas as they rub their legs and wings
More subtle than the birdsong, this is how existence sings
