tangled words

leaves

the leaves they are falling

they fall here, and do damage there

those leaves that will fall,

they don't really care at all

but I see your shadow coming

hiding itself behind the trees

you are doing your best not to show me

that the sun is soon to leave

but for all of your kind heart

the grass holds me too close

and I won't choose to leave this clearing

til the roots give up their search

we are done before we started

but we started before we knew

that is how we defy logic

and fly before we flew

so in this way let us start it,

everyday afresh and new

without all of the knowledge

that we know before we grew

so together and apart then,

let this journey be undone

so wonderful then, the doing

of the sweet times that will come.

Back to the land of the living
