For You | Stan Morrison

how long is sadness supposed to last
when can longing yield to a new love
when will these dark clouds evaporate
into gossamer moons in a starry sky
and the weather forecast signal spring

as long as I sign up too be inspired
and delight in the effort of being
as long as chances for still chase me
as long as my shell remains permeable
whenever I surrender to your embrace
while I am helplessly lost in the moment
