Dreaming Past the Noon Sky

A breath across the blinds the afternoon slows down

Sunwashed corners fading, lines along the floor

Pencil shadows lengthen, softer than before

Teacups keep a secret, cooling into grace

Every small reflection settles into place

Dreaming past the noon sky, letting daylight lean

Holding all the quiet threaded in between

Dreaming past the noon sky, open, slow, and kind

Keeping every gentle color in my mind

Clock hands loosen tension, windows learn to wait

Pages turn like rivers finding out their fate

Footsteps down the hallway drift to nearly none

Everything grows lighter once the rush is done

Dreaming past the noon sky, letting daylight lean

Holding all the quiet threaded in between

Dreaming past the noon sky, open, slow, and kind

Keeping every gentle color in my mind

If the city calls us back into the blue

We will fold a margin made for me and you

When the shadows climb and evening starts to stay

We'll underline the soft parts of the day

Dreaming past the noon sky, letting daylight lean

Holding all the quiet threaded in between

Dreaming past the noon sky, open, slow, and kind

Keeping every gentle color in my mind

Keeping every gentle color in my mind
