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.

  • Watch faces

    I talked with this third grader on the bus

    she asked to see my watch face. 

    I showed her and said, 

    "this is me and my boyfriend at a concert we played

    at the Flynn"

    are you still in love?

  • Girlhood

    The girls,

    the little kids on the bus, 

    switching seats and grabbing friends and TALKING

    loud and jarring

    life is joy, to them,

    life is play.

    I want them to stay there.
