canção das estrelas ( song of the stars)

(ouvir as estrelas)

listen to the stars
they sing in a windy voice
like sideways rain,
like blown sand  on window
listen
to the light of the moon
for in stillness near you
it tingles my lips 
and whispers -ever slightly-
upon the softness of your skin 

Ouvi…

I have listened…

in the chill of night

when warmth seemed distant

like love made in the afternoon

and the long way home

seemed yet longer, until I could

 listen to the sounds within you

beautiful like star song, warm

even in depths of night

as the Moon, that shares

love of loving, as I do

when I held you  then

as I wish to now, deeply

as the endless skies, tenderly 

as the sound like a sideways rain

that drifts from the soul of the Sun
