I remember when the sun shone bright
And warm
So warm
I remember when it was hot
...
I have been thinking a lot, lately.
About how very vast the Universe is,
About how very many people there are...
About how very small and insignificant I feel,
...
Cold pale sunlight shifts through faded memories.
Worn pink rosebuds hold the hollow echoes of childish laughter.
Bright eyes grow distant,
Witty smile turns inward.
...
Who can understand
A heart made of wood,
Roots clutched tightly deep in soil.
Who can understand
...
Don't you step in my dirt
When I'm sweeping the floor
Don't you step in my dirt
Or I won't
...
I beg you please
Just let me sleep
To stay in bed at least another week
And be warm and comfortable
...
Its branches hang down
like graceful strings of tears,
Some turning yellow.
...
The wind that blows.
The wind that knows
No rest.
No home.
...
