Thank you, River

Thank you, River
          for rocks and rapids and
          your gentle flow.

Thank you, Trees
          for bent, bowed, and twisted branches
          that lean over the waters.

Thank you, Turtles
          for taking pleasure in the sun with
          utter disregard for the pleasure it brings the observer.

Thank you, Travelers
          for blazing this trail, marking it
          so I could find my way to this place.

Thank you, Creator
          for fashioning all this and allowing it to grow and change
          and unfold into this moment.

Nature's Healing

When my heart was wounded,
                 I sought out the gentle ministrations of nature.
The woods surrounded me and applied
                Gentle pressure to stop me from bleeding out.
The river cleansed my wounds
The leaves provided dressings to bandage them
Twining vines wrapped them snugly
The breeze soothed me.
The currents lulled me to sleep.
                 And I was healed.

Not Much More I Can Say About That...

When you find the perfect words expressed in the perfect way, sometimes you just have to let them stand on their own.

I could liken you to a werewolf,

the way you left me for dead

But I admit that I provided a full moon

And I could liken you to a shark

the way you bit off my head

But then again,

I was waving around a bleeding, open wound

But you were such a super guy

Till the second you get a whiff of me

We are like a wishing well

And a bolt of electricity

But we can still support each other

All we gotta do's avoid each other

Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key

Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key

The lava of the volcano

shot up hot from under the sea

One thing leads to another

and you made an island of me

And I could liken you to a chemical,

the way you made me compound a compound

But I'm a chemical too

Inevitable you and me would mix

And I could liken you to a lot of things

But I always come around

'Cause in the end, I'm a sensible girl

I know the fiction of the fix

But you were such a super guy

Till the second you get a whiff of me

We are like a wishing well

And a bolt of electricity

But we can still support each other

All we gotta do's avoid each other

Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key

Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key

Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key

Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key
