James Marshall Goff Poet Lyric

Salvation

defy gravity,

defy gravity,

claim your slip,
secured by unseen spirits

many times, your journeys have fed asphalt to your
dreams, lifting highways above simple paths.....

now, the end has been seen       many years before,

small children know!
they look at you and smile

small children know........

                  they look at you and smile

only pushcarts         burdened with lies,

drown in tears.....

ice cream            taken in small amounts

                 is as close as I will get,


                             close,
             
                                    as I

                                            will get

Yoni Dvorkis July 18, 2009 at 9:56 AM pushcarts burdened with lies.I guess you mean people who are older and maybe ride around on these things. that makes sense to me since they would also be more burdened with lies and so have a greater degree of fear at the approaching 'end' (I don't believe it's the real ending anyway). Carolyn sees it too in children, they're closer to the memory of the beginning then we are. I like the ice cream reference, innocent and childlike, I'd go with vanilla to connect with a child, they like vanilla...
