Parkway at Dawn

My day begins in quiet dark

I long still to be fast asleep

My joints are sore as I embark

Another day ahead of me

The street is cold and dimly lit

My cup of coffee in my hand

As warmth begins to spread through it

I see the lights from where I stand

I say I’ll drive second today

As neither of us seems to mind

Engines stir as we’re on our way

It whirs and slowly passes time

As dawn begins to gently break

My head is still cloudy with dreams

Soon I will be fully awake
How I love the passenger’s seat

Azure

My love, he has the bluest eyes
They're deep and often sad
So deep that I feel lost at times
As if I had gone mad.

My love, he sometimes slips away
While he's holding me close
His eyes I see have gone astray
I wonder where he goes.

My love, I miss him while he's gone
I wish that he would see
If only I could come along
How happy we would be.
