Lucia

When winter suspends
The summer charade
It's hard to abide this
And try to persuade

Someday when I can speak clearly
A storm will rise
If you should pass by

The color of leaves on October trees
It's beautiful when the leaves are dying again
The changes keep me alive
And soothe me
All of the time

New moon shatters the sky
Open your eyes and tell me goodbye
Mute face reflecting the rays
Moonbeams are pulling you away
Lucia
I thought you were gone

Too long coming to terms
A little late to learn
I share thoughts with paper and fire
To save you
Destroying my desire

Blind eyes struggle to see
I'm in a hole
God, it takes a toll
The dirt, roots.... I wish I could show you
I don't know if I should let it go

Real life beckons your love
There's a meteor streaking in the heavens above
A cold light filtering through you
I can't say that I really knew you

Last time
An easy embrace
I memorize your face
It's a mute face, reflecting the rays
Moonbeams are pulling you away
