These Winds

Helena’s hollow
She lives in a sail
Drift on a promise
Of delicate details
Her ark is a shipwrecked
Touch till she breathes
Love’s whisper passing
And laying down reeds
Caroline the shy girl
Made only of air
Breathlessly singing
On a wing and a prayer
Secrets that shadow
Lie in the deep
Carried along
And laid down to sleep
These winds
And cold, dark rain
Blows, breaks
And remains
These winds
And cold, dark rain
Blows, breaks
And remains
Josephine’s beauty
She hides with a veil
Speaks reassuring
But her voice is frail
Dancing covertly
Afraid we might fall
Sweep me away
And feel nothing at all
These winds
And cold, dark rain
Blows, breaks
And remains
These winds
And cold, dark rain
Blows, breaks
And remains
These winds
And cold, dark rain
Blows, breaks
And remains
These winds
And cold, dark rain
Blows, breaks
And remains
