Cherryvine

The years were like circles, I wandered around

Indefinite space, not lost but not found

No way to divine freedom from doubt

Conflicted beliefs were bringing me down

A forest at twilight, the wingbeat of birds

I followed the rhythm, suggestive of words

A girl in a dream; an aqua guitar

A stirring of notes, the door was ajar…sensations moving me

Alone in the desert I fell to my knees

Your voice was a wave calling to me

Listen to Joni, prophetically true

Two-sided fortune…do you feel it too?

Feels so fine…

Out in the fields I breathe in the sky

Oh how I love cherryvines

So many things I just couldn’t see

Now they’re the leaves on the tree

Every door open, horizon so blue

Internal landscape slips into view

Wandering souls, paths intertwined

North Star above, my sweet cherryvine

Remember the poet, that old Irish bard

That is our anthem, the line thru our hearts

We who tread softly on carpets of dreams

Bringing us closer…binding the seems

All of the things I could not perceive

The grace and the wonders we see

The wildness of cherries, so lush on the vine

One thing is certain, you’re made to be mine

Easy and free, a place in the sun

Everything simple, everything fun

La La La La, La La La La
