and we’re running out of dreams
to usher
into
being
at the edge of this here parkinglot .

at the top
of the
hill

and
the tip
of the
tongue

it’s all roll into neutral from here -
       go easy on the breaks .

nature is a wonder for all the world to see
flowers  by the score growing wild and free
all the many creatures freely as they roam
beneath the forest trees where they make there home

the rabbits and the badgers and the weasel to
so many other creatures there for you to view
birds they sing there song in the morning dew
singing loud and clear singing just for you

a wonder of the world for each and everyone
a miracle of life that makes the world go on

bury me alive, and let's just pretend it wasn't suicide
oh, you don't like me, well so do I — there's this ugly version
of myself that I can't deny, so to every girl I date, I always
pray you'll find a better guy

still, I fell in love with the rhythm of your eyes,
cos you always seem to view me as a better guy. to my
surprise, you give me reason to stay alive

but I always tell you not to read too deeply
on some of the things I say. darling I'm only human —
sometimes I make spelling errors, still was it a spell that
you fell in love with me?

      your purpose is love,
                 and I'll protect it with my life.
