Wandering Heart

My heart sometimes goes out at night
To bask within the pale moonlight
Who knows whither she will wander
Only in dreams will you find her

Just as wingéd darkness alights
My heart sometimes goes out at night
Seeking redemption or perhaps
Forgiveness - she always lapses

Lured into whirlpools of the past,
She longs ever for peace at long last.
My heart sometimes goes out at night,
Always concealed from my mind’s eye

Why, oh why, the coyote cries
To the moon and her silent skies,
Maybe that is the reason why
My heart sometimes goes out at night.
