Waltzing beneath the trees’
Vast fractured canopies.
Are you golden?
Are you still warm?
Soaked in each ray of light.
Your sun dance staves off the night
Flee the old town.
Leave the swarm.
You say
“We could live here.
In the spaces between these roots.
Coexist here.
Hardened soles instead of soft boots.”
Flee the old town.
Leave the swarm.
Are you golden?
Are you still warm?
I’ve never seen so many shades of green.
Bleed into amber and orange in front of me.
I’ve never held the earth in my hands and felt so clean.
I’ve never seen you so serene.
Trade claustrophobia for clarity.
Forget the morning’s vanity.
Your skin is golden.
Your laugh is warm.
Comfort in the undergrowth.
Space enough for us both.
This is home now.
Forever more.
I say
“We could live here.
Find a sturdy tree and we’ll climb it.
Coexist here.
Hollow out a hill, crawl inside it.”
This is home now.
Forever more.
Your skin is golden.
Your laugh is warm.
I’ve never seen so many shades of green.
Bleed into amber and orange in front of me.
I’ve never held the earth in my hands and felt so clean.
I’ve never seen you so serene.
I’ve never seen so many shades of green.
Bleed into amber and orange in front of me.
I’ve never held the earth in my hands and felt so clean.
I’ve never seen you so serene.
