Hiding from the sun

Oh God! Fill my heart with happiness
Let me live this life with bliss
I'm having such a bad day
All I want is to hug you
But we're on the expressway
In your hand is the power
For this car to fly above traffic
Let me hold it for a while
In your words are a spell
For the sun to become dimmer
I know we only left
But I can't wait to get back
Home with you

With you
I'm no so alone
All that time I spent as a child
Wishing for a friend
I have finally found in you
At the lake we saw the swans
And the ducks pass by
We could walk on water
If we really wanted to
Going down a hill
I turn to look back at you
We make our way out the trees
With you I'm finally home

Migration of the caterpillar

I saw two kitsune kissing
in a pattern on the wall,
constellations on the screen,
and many caterpillar crossing
the parking lot tonight.

This used to be a forest
now just a strand of trees
while inside the building
they hung up art
of nature scenes.

In one there's a river
winding through a wood,
in the distance a gleaming sun
forms the body of a being.
You found a turtle on the road

I caught it and set it loose
in the backyard
and if tomorrow it's still there
we'll take it to the creek.

Twin guardians

We didn't exactly wish it would turn out
the way it is
Dreams with new wings soar into flight
Appear tiny in the sky as they depart
Appear tiny in our hearts when they
reappear
From the clouds covering the harsh sun
Overcast a shadow to shelter us
It's safe to look up now
Here they come
They will be the guardians of your soul
As the world grows old

The way it is, dreams
appear, appear, reappear
from the clouds
look up now
here they come
the guardians of your soul

Mindfulness

If you stare at ghosts long enough they will disappear
We are running out of stairs if we want to reach the stars
It's a fantasy that I can't help but have
For the divine to appear in you
It's a myth I have to believe

If I lie here quietly
Stay real still and only breathe
In my backyard just to wait and see
If the morning dew will cover me

I know there is an art to map the sea
Also geometry and trigonometry
But what is there to chart the soul?
That which is never seen is lonely
Deep inside of me

If I lie here quietly
Stay real still and only breathe
In my backyard just to wait and see
If the morning dew will cover me

I guessed the stars and got them wrong
Fighting back a panic attack
If I had known what joy you'd bring to me
I have this dream just you and me
And our two little babies
