Someday Soon
I think it's time to put myself away
Seek out a little silence
Close the doors and sit a while
Walk a little
And as I put my words away
The flow slows
See this penny in a stream
Picking it up is easy.
Follow the shape of it.
Jump in.
Swallow it whole.
Jump in.
Even though I know my way around
Possibly there's something new I found
Holding on for finding solid ground
Someday soon.
Someday soon.
I'll turn myself into the grass
And I'll grow
Take this space above my head
And live in it a little.
Gonna wear my feathered headdress
Like an Indian chief.
Gonna stretch out both my arms
I'm gonna test the temperature.
Follow the taste of it.
Jump in.
Swallow it whole.
Jump in.
Even though I know my way around
Possibly there's something new I found
Holding on for finding solid ground
Even though I know my way around
Possibly there's something new I found
Holding on for finding solid ground
Someday soon.
Someday soon.
Maybe walk a little
Someday soon.

Gorgeous picture, Laura!! Maybe a book in the making??????
Aw shucks, Kel, tanky :)
Leave the books to the truly gifted; I'm still trying to get the camera to capture what I see.
I've started a drawing, though, too; still trying to get the pencils to capture what I see, so we'll see how that goes. Maybe I'll post it when I'm done.
