Chasing a rainbow
Ever dancing in puddles
Daylight is misting

4/23/2017

Born in the tempest of a rising tide
In a whirlwind turning
At some place in some time
Testing the water
I look deep inside
The wind keeps on churning
There’s nowhere to hide

Never been down this path before
I’m lost in the hedgerows
On the stage of my mind
Caught in the menagerie
I’ll see what I want to see
Lost in the fantasy
I’ll walk with tenacity

I know what you said
That it’s all in my head but
I’m really that limber
With all things considered
I won’t be defined and I’ll never resign
I’ll just ride on the tide
Through the winds of my mind

Such a lovely tree
Above you and me
Just over our heads
The canopy spreads
Beneath our feet
The roots reach out
To anchor this shady
And leafy retreat

We lay out our lunch
On an old checkered cloth
We break out the wine
And drink a few drops
The bread is from heaven
The cheese from the dell
Your whispers are water
My ears are the well

Blessed are you
For coming along
Here in the tree-line
Our time passes by
Your song is divine and
Your lips taste like wine
The bread and the cheese
Leave us hungry for more

We lay in the grass
We kiss and we laugh
There’s time to relax
And truly unwind
Our hearts beat a song
And our minds sing along
Under our tree
Is where we belong

A subtle breeze both gentle and clean
Wafts across the chimney peaks
A sweet wet mist fills the humid air
Sporadic clouds grow in stately fair
Little drizzles in blue sky and sun
This casual dance is all the fun
I'm a dancing fool, you can be too
We can play that game
Just swimming in the rain
