Only When the Music Plays

I was going crazy
until the music started playing
with my mind

Paint dream crosses
roll by car windows stuck
in the down position

Random weather falling
coats worn upon wide fields
from days when I was lost

Never cold breath
opens over the winter lake
like ships frozen and adrift

The crime to stare
to see you standing there
to need to want

Deep is the sky
full of a hundred black birds
I stare with envy

I've gone there finally
with the music playing
in my mind
