Venture from the Road

I know the road
Like the back of my hand
I want more
Beautiful motherland

Look before crossing
Obedient daughter
From the Eastern sea shore
To thirsty desert sand

Empty arms open wide
Fingertips comb the stars
Searching the Western sky


Reign of Tears

In watchful silence
I held your hand
Gently, not tightly

You call me your right arm
I will take the reigns now
It's ok to go without harm

April sky darkened
Your tears fell frozen
On freshly mowed lawn

A thunderous clap
In a yellow glow
We let go
