The notes lay beside the pile Like a pavement near the sky The sun rises on the east side Like an apartment on the Upper East side on high rise My desires are many and sensual When will they make their mark I live in a time where the stark appetite of a tiger and fish Like peace and war cannot co exist But they do so well in the crawling ground of forests Maybe we can go back to old times Or we can forgot about the rivers Have you ever seen the rain fall on the caboose of a banyan tree The leaves of the pine trees often flutter on a hillside The spines have become sculpted into architecture Like the frieze on the Greek columns resources from gold mines Can we go back to the past Where we weren't dying or living Or when we never met This is where I make my mark and stand my place
