did you know
if you cut
a single triangle into the wall
and you push through
the drywall and siding
you can see the sun so blinding
and the grass so green
you thought if this is a different world
you think it's not meant for me
but this world
on the other side
has no more secrets
you won't have to hide

the leaves on your side
of the wall of Eyes
are different
they are shy leaves
much to dull
they have a shine
but they never will show
beauty extorted
beauty unclaimed
they dare not sparkle
or be pluck in vain

in this new world
the leaves are honest
they show each pigment
with a laugh
and bleed beautiful colors
that promise to last

so cut the triangle
slice through the wall
before the beautiful colors fall
catch each leaf
with a glint in your eye
for these are true colors
they never will die

you must come
to know them now
don't ask questions
you don't need to know how
kiss in green
and a laugh of light
send you away
into the night

follow the trail
of the heart shaped leaves
if you find my home
don't ever leave
I give you these colors
to have and to own
so in the dark
you won't be alone

an escape
and a journey
a place
you don't have to earn

a citizen of Home
in the garden of life
and in this place
there is not strife
just kisses of sunlight
to keep you warm
into this last night
