Today
small gasps of air
escape hearts of a feather
someone lifted the ground higher
someone lowered the sky closer
because somehow the clouds seem so close
like a minute away
like I just want to raise my hand up
and snatch that cotton candy
and to my mouth to melt
and to my skin to caress
someone brought out the moon so early
in its full splendour it's there to admire
give me a hug dear moon
let me reciprocate dear moon
from the skin so smooth
to a polygamy talk so tempting
in this modern day and age
I guess you will have your man cave in the middle
of two or four huts, whatever number you choose to have
international lullaby you have mastered
from the Kenyan jewel
to the Indonesian gem
back to the America's gorgeous
and who knows, Latinos so close
small gasps of air
escapes hearts of a feather
it's so clear to see,
the today
to love without boundaries
the love of a broken heart
tries the winds from a many directions
