Into the meadow

Into the meadow we run together, 

Faces shining in the sun.

Beneath the starry sky we wander,

'Til what we seek is done.

We play and we laugh

We joke and we splash

In the waters of a shimmering lake.

We'll never get older

So why not live here forever

Beyond what time can take?

 

There's nothing to prove

In this wilderness with you

Where being solidly me is enough.

Anything can happen

This forest is magic

As we escape from society's bluff.

 

I wonder aloud

Why what happened played out

And you're there to dry my tears.

We talk me through it

Because I think I blew it

But you'll stay, right, through the years?

You'll keep me company

Where no one else can see

And you'll protect me as you say?

 

With a quick nod,

The rest of the world is gone,

And I know this won't be our last day.

    Duet

    starting together ending together

    weaving around each other's sound

    adapting tuning

    instinctively fitting into the tone

    the way we want to do this

    the contrast

    played so perfectly

  • The boys in my class

    The agony of the human race

    simple creatures

    snickering at my poetry 

    banging their fists against their heads

    stalling work

    reading mushy parts of books they pretend not to enjoy

    saying stupid things

  • Sleigh ride

    Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too
