Miguel

 
Can you see me with more than sight
In the calm before we wake
With wings that never knew flight
In the conscious that we break?

And the shadows are unbroken,
In the whispers that are spoken
Behind me in the clouded street…
It is the voice of your heartbeat,
While the rain and leaves of tomorrow
With the snows of long ago
Circle round our dreams and skies
Where the unknown season lies.

I see you with more than sight.
In my heart eternal, you,
By the day and by the night
Are the only life I ever knew.

And the shadows all withdrew,
When I saw a rose as I saw you.
It was a beauty most divine,
And the roses all were mine
While the rain upon the shore
With the snow that falls no more
Circle round our lives as they could be
In a season only we can see.
