After Satie

hoping - waiting
hoping
waiting
     softly opens the promise of spring

waiting - sighing
hoping
waiting
     surely blackbirds in echo will sing

     - now - yon -

   gone

waiting
waiting
sighing
     soon sunlight will flourish on field
hoping
     field - in the daylight earth treasure will yield
yon - sighing -
      day

   comes
lonely for someone who called in the night - night

   night

hoping - waiting
hoping
waiting
   softly opens the promise of spring

waiting - sighing
hoping
waiting
   surely blackbirds in echo will sing

     - now - yon -

   gone
  gone

waiting - waiting
    welcome this west wind to bless all our trees
sighing
   trees spread in blossom and sweeten the breeze

      soft

    warm.
