- maybe tonight
maybe tonight
Maybe tonight the hidden clouds will be my pillow
the stars burn for me
and fear no dark.
maybe tonight the earth will rock me back and forth
gently to sleep
axis on a rocking chair.
I pull the sunset sheets over my body
and wrap myself up in the reds, purples, and pinks.
I curl up on my bed of woven dreams
and close my eyes with no want in my heart.
maybe tomorrow the sun will greet me warmly,
kiss my cheek
and beckon me to play.
maybe tomorrow the wind will lift my spirits
and I will gladly go
wherever it will lead.
