Show Me

Show me
a scenic mountain view,
a luster of a woman's face,
a smile of a child at play

show me
your hand open like a flower,
water running down your body
crystal clear,

show me...

I'm waiting to be shown
where to go at this time,
this afternoon has kept me alive,
but it's nighttime
and the stars are waiting

show me
a gentle wind that you are
restless and changing

show me.
