Singing Still
Poetic you, filling my head with the dreams
of yesteryears and I am the girl in a Tarzan movie,
fearless of elephants as I jump from tree to tree;
I am the one who makes the call of come-in-peace
and feast at a table spread with fruits of love-gathered
coconuts and all things green to keep us strong.
I yell and you smile and they come from miles and miles
to listen to my midnight song...but I awaken before
the first note leaves my throat so I sat up and wrote
a note to a lover I had pushed away with promises to
honor and obey because sometimes, life even at at
its best is, just that way.
