The Tall Grass

Hiding away dreaming out in the tall tall grass

Dappled sun willows sway as the clouds drift past

Birds overheard remark that we’re out of place

Material thoughts subside and slip away

Sensation returns humming long-forgotten tunes

Summer thoughts of childhood easy days of moving through

I’d climb higher and laugh talking to the trees

Following leaves they cast out onto the breeze

Haven’t we seen the road’s not straight as we walk along

Be with me here before this moment’s gone

Haven’t we wondered haven’t we always known

How to be so wild and free…how to find our way back home

Whispering secrets that conjure like a charm

Dreaming about a future where we’re all safe from harm

Hold my hand and let your body feel the sun

Nowhere to be because eternity’s never done

Lay down here with me out in the tall tall grass

What do you see in the shapes floating past

An angel reclined, or maybe a smiley face

Let’s let our imaginations run away
