A Cappella

mallards
can you see
sunshine?
longing . . .
under the thick clouds (M)

my dreams fly
a mountain pokes through
the mist (D)

seeing me
in your world
please
find yourself
in matching sunglasses (M)

backyard pond
I hear your words
in the mirror(D)

finding
one wing of
a pair. . .
we each sing
a different verse (M)

a cappella
at midnight
moonglow (D)
