CANOPY

“I stand under a canopy

Of floating leaves

And a sky so blue

Lost as I am in this world

And within me,

I look to new hope

On the other side of the hill

On the other side of the seas

A yearning in my core

A longing in my soul,

To listen to the color of music

And to see the sound of colour

As twilight blankets the sky,

I whisper a prayer to the stars

That everyday forever

I stand under yet another canopy

Of floating leaves,

On the other side of the hill

On the other side of the seas.”
