Chasing Rainbows

Your heartbeat was dropping
into my silence
as I was calling the rain.
My yearning was burning
like fire
as I was opening my vein.

And I ran through the woods
where the pines grow wild and tall.
And I heard the wind rustling through the trees
branches and brambles tore my clothes
and scratched my face.

Ghostly voices were rising
from the fields
as I tried to break the chain.
My love was melting
like a candle
as the forest whispered my name.

I was only chasing rainbows
always heading for a dream
longing for a crystal vision
searching getting lost.
