I want to write about skies so blue that every square of heaven sighs 
I want to pen about flowers and trees and little scurrying rabbits too 
Down in the meadows I will lay my head and invent stories for you 
Poem after poem sharing dreams and hopes while scrying the skies

I want you to imagine the flavor of my peach by the noon day sun  
I want to share the incensed room of my aspire when dusk is done 
Up on the hills where the emerald grass glistens with fulgent dew 
while the epigraphs of my mental etchings sit here waiting for you 

I want you to be you  and I want me to be me so we can both be free 
to share our joys and pains and know that we are human, equally 
I want to write about a sky so blue, that every square of heaven sighs 
poem after poem I will write about everything that grows and flies.
