lyrics

When we first met
your eyes were open and kind.
We spoke of
Art, Music, and Photography,
the big things, you know?
Safe in conversation with another who would understand.
And the fury of the real world? – Shh! Forget that!
I mentioned
I wanted to be a poet -
‘I AM a poet!’
and you laughed
for you knew
every tickle, every joy
that laugh would bring me.
‘Come with me, poet,
for I know a place
of such beauty
the words will fall from you
like dew drops
stretching awake on a spring morning.’
