words of wisdom and wonder
words of wisdom and wonder
9/13/07
i am wandering through this valley
searching for the answers
to the questions i am too ashamed to ask
the earth is growing colder
as it winds through the ravines
my path is in shadow
towered by the mountains
of isolation and despair
but in the sky i see your face
the blue of your eyes,
the white of your hair
the glow of your smile in the sun
the stream sounds like your laughter
i want to swim in its sweet rush
the hills look like your hands
calloused from your labor
and the rain looks like your teardrops
as it falls upon my face
my bare feet sink into the mud
and somehow i feel like dancing
but the music just won’t play
and the earth seems to consume me
with every step i take
i hear your words of wisdom
being whispered through the wind
speaking of the right way and the wrong
i don’t know how to feel you
even though i see you there
our worlds are very different
and i don’t really understand
it would be so easy to turn around
and run away from you
i could hide within my own reality
like a parallel universe
with two separate planes
and never the two should meet
i could veil myself in solitude
among the tall white daisies
and yet i know you still would reach me there
the memory of those halcyon days
is still so vibrant in my mind
the warmth of your embrace
like a blanket over my chill
hold me close
and never let me go
speak to me
with words of wonder
and i will be alright
