You are the sunshine on a cloudy day, 
the bright blue sky breaking through 
a rainy afternoon.
The only star in my night sky, 
illuminating dreams long lost to me.

I'd swim in your ocean 
for all of eternity 
and be twice as free 
as I ever could have perceived.

My mind doesn't wander 
at the sound of your voice. 
I feel calm. 
I feel peace. 
I feel at ease. 
I think you're sweet!

Meet me at dawn 
and I'll talk you through the night, 
listen with patience 
to your plight.

Not so much a storm cloud, 
more a hurricane inside my brain. 
Chaos creates change 
and change is good for the heart 
as well as the art. 

Open the cage, the bird does fly.
