harvest of rain

she gave me the moon in a crescent carved with the thumb of her hand just like a smile once remembered or a fingernail drawn in sand she drew me toward all of heaven wrapping her arms all around i was torn from all of my sadness thrown on the softest ground she painted my lips with a strawberry she drew on my face with a flower her hair smelled sweet in the moonlight her touch grew soft with each hour we harvested rain in the garden we danced in the light of the moon i remember the light as it faded a time that ended too soon i remember he now without sorrow i remember the time that was shared i recall the way she held me the girl that told me she cared i dance with her soft rain of kisses i sing like a lark newly born and i sing like a bird just awakening of the girl as bright as the morn we harvested rain in the garden we danced in the light of the moon i remember the light as it faded a time that ended too soon a time that ended too soon
