Eyes In the Tall Grass
Refined smells of life ripening sunlight
Distil the dawn with sharp visions to reinvigorate
I’m seen through eyes in the tall grass
Drinking life from fresh air's revitalising glass
Crops rippling in the breeze like buoyant spirits
Rise like a live stage performance through the mist
Thick like a page out of this day’s publication
To a new chapter lifted to the blue sky with anticipation
Nourishing the majestic oak with new waters from upstream
To naturally continue their meander of living a dream
A memory of tears washed empty of all yesterdays
Enters my garden like a crisp straw of ambiance
And when the quiet of night does come, it’ll be swift
From leaves to humus on a wind's sudden shift
For I’m on life’s assembly line – death’s bucket list
Warmth slips over my abandoned remains like a red sunset
