I Planted Something New

It’s the breath I need but can’t reach Arms extended as far as they can reach But the superhero is late this time and can’t save me Plan ahead they say so you can make time to smell the flower things I’ve never been much of a gardener However, today I’m planting mustard seeds So, my confidence can age as grand as the canyon I can finally picture heaven in the palm of my hands with this Canon Camera, bombing any part of hell left in my yesterday that tries to burn my film Hope used to be a dream then I made my dreams come true Hope used to slip through my fingers but now I wear it as a cape Flying over depression, fear, and regret Debts I no longer wish to add to Stop subtracting from you, thinking to myself Hope is priceless, you don’t have to play tag with money That’s why the tag looks out of place in a garden The highest value holders are free Plant faith and wake up in a field of dreams Plant a rose and fall in love Plant patience and endurance will run past any future Harmony outlasts pains earthquake Honor overcomes poisoned endings And it gives me hope that tomorrow isn’t so bad after all I don’t always feel super, but I will be my own hero p.s. don’t forget your cape…
