Somethin's Bound To Give
Another switchback under mountain crossed, (*)
far below blue and violet spires bloom.
Undiscovered shady valley river flows lost,
rippling in pride of madeira's plume.
Turned my back to a harsh southern wind,
reach those dizzying heights again.
No finer place recalled, nor time relived,
though knowin' something's gotta give.
Maybe I'll cave, change a mind that got it wrong..
this heart took a left turn more than once.
Like voices lifted in a David Foster song,
though perhaps a dog that'll never hunt.
You hold someone to higher purpose,
turning like a diamond in your hand.
Look deep in beauty's fractured surface.,
a sadness I finally understand.
She's fixed with a devil maiden's eye,
nothin' as sweet; her cracker jack surprise.
Sweet reprieve to convicted heart lived,
though somethin's bound to give.
*Inspired by poem 'All I can be' - by Heidi Sands
