Kit Kelen #1203 - come down in the last shower

1203

come down in the last shower

in the vine wild wilderness of where

trimming the tale back to truth

someone came to grab at

someone wanted all and more

in all the years standing

and weather

this certain shape I am

just happens

who wouldn’t wonder

how it is we are here

and enough

this all-we-see

we never know enough

must find

someone is counting

and calling it theirs

I have this place in mind  

and you

and you’re not one of them

we so far fallen

in all the green world

so we rise

and we’re the music too

open your eyes to this one world we have

it’s all these little wings have sung

it’s all the blind soil turns

listen and breathe

and someone with a gun comes

someone with a blade

and want blood

and never their dinner enough

these are our brothers and sisters

in and out of skin

we lucked out all along

to have these trees for parents

it’s only by heart

we could have come

so far among them

home to dream here

there’s every mystery

we must witness

but none as tall as trees

no one was chosen

we happen to be

see them

know that you belong

open your eyes

and you’re free
