The sky darkens when you’re not here
as a cloud in the shape of love is drawn
With the words I so fail to speak
and the letters that litter the sky of dawn

If you look up and see a cloud of hope
know that it’s me that sent it home
For the days I lie here and picture
you waking by me as true as scripture

Then if you look up to see a cloud of joy
shining with rays of the sun that cloy
All light reflected of the Earth yet still
the light of your eyes promise to fulfill

Every dream, every hope
every prayer to the lord
For a flicker of life
in us to grow and survive

And if a cloud of longing crossed your skies
warm it with a peck to help it rise high
Survive its journey through the lands with no cries
and come back to my doorstep to rain where I lie

And if the longing inside of me escapes
sending my sorrows to you don’t refrain
From letting me know that you as well care
and listen to my heart as its beats race

For those paces of my heart would tell
a story I would never dream foretell
Reining its veins with enchanted spells
showing it a world of chanting bells

In the hope that one day I will look up to see
a clould carrying you to the place where I kneel
In a mount up high there I hold concealed
a ring that bears all that I ever revered
