voices call
from home
as I float from memory to memory
a champagne cork hits the wall
sadness hangs
kiss midnight
suspended
home
and
love
the calendar bows
sleep drifts in
you come to me in dreams
you tell me it_s alright
rain falls clouds stretch
touch earth yet remain skyward
roads wind there are no names
for the places I_m going
today cannot erase
tomorrow cannot erase
or dim the I love you I say
to you I love you
in this dream
in this memory
rain falls I stretch
to touch kiss you kiss
the forehead
of this new year
I sing
a lullaby
for what has been
for what will be
