All Around

When I was a little boy I never had a doubt
that love was all around me.
Seven years of innocence until the world found out
and came and took it from me.

Bye. Bye. Sorry to see you go
But they have so much to show me.
Why? Why? tell me what was wrong
why couldn't I belong to me?

Searching for the answers as I watch the sun go down
I guess that I will never know.
Taking all the reasons for the excuses that I've found
I hope someday to let them go...

and find that love again.

Waves

A marmalade morning
passes to the red afternoon
and to a dusky blue evening
in light of the moon.

The morning dew
and afternoon showers
give way to the cool evening breeze
They are yours, mine, and ours.

All that we are
from the birds and the bees
to the moon and the stars
and the grass and the trees

Is all that we ever were
and all that we'll ever be.

Waves upon waves.
Never goodbye.
