That Door

Opening that door

It makes me feel so alone

Behind it there’s so much beauty

I fall into the depths of the blue

Where my eyes meet with purple

And it tugs on the heart strings

And for what feels like the first time

I’m breathing

I’m feeling

I’m listening

I’m experiencing

Above me

There’s the universe

Just a small piece of its entirely for me to see

Around me

Is life

Growing there in the moonlight

And suddenly I’m so small

And there’s nothing big enough in the world

To fill the space of wonder

That’s erupted inside me

That was born this instant

And so many moments before it

Like one lonely, blossoming

Flower bud

Every time

I open that door

Just Breathe

For All Of My Days

Slipping between my fingers

Pretty silver lights

Dancing on a wooden dock

Laughing with the night

The water glides like liquid glass

Rolling across each stone

The moon shines light into my very core

The breeze is my hand to hold

I think of a perfect smile

Playing across your lips

You have no idea of my longing

Longing for your kiss

In my mind I feel your body’s warmth

Wrapped up all around me

The tips of your fingers graze my skin

As the pretty lights surround me

Nested in a cherry blossom

A hummingbird begins to sing

And into the night that little bird

She spreads her delicate wings

Daylight breaks, the sun shines through

Between the cracks of that old dock

I see where green grass grew

And then I’m running through fields of flowers

And you’re watching me as I play

I run into your arms

And you’re laughing as you say

“I’m gunna love you for all my days”

I kiss your lips through a smile

The wind plays through my hair

Baby you know that in my heart

I’m always gunna be there

And today, kneeling beside a grave

I say, “I’m gunna love you for all my days”

The Humming Tree

You have the eyes
But I can see
I can see The Humming Tree
The birds, they chirp at the buzzing bees
And upon a golden hill stands The Humming Tree
All day and night it sways and sways
It hums and sways and leaves dance away
Up and up past Eagle’s Bay
Hum and hum and sway and sway
It sings for me, The Humming Tree
With the chirping birds and the buzzing bees
I dance alone on this golden hill
And look and see and see
Can you see The Humming Tree?
It glistens, it shines, it twinkles like a star
Better than a dream
You have the eyes
But I can see
For eyes you need not to truly be
Dancing with The Humming Tree
