“Sway In Loneliness”

 

Gracious and tall

Beauty stride like a warrior

On a stormy night

Palm trees sway

Troubles my mind with its grace

Breaking the spirit of the wind god

Sway in loneliness

Over and over again

Like the waves on a lonely shore


Over and over again

I feel like the ship

That sailed the seven seas

Fleeting forward

With flirting light in the wind

I sail away… sail away

Over and over again

I hear the melody

Of love in nature

That grips tenderly

And gentle on my ears

The howling rhythm of the wind

I see Palm tree dancing

The moonlight dance

So gracious and tall

Over and over again

As I sail away…sail away

And falls asleep

Thoughts deep!!
