Special Way
6/26/17
Another hidden gem
To the public, for free I give to them
In the face of business men
On top of the window stood a cross that shined
Beside a man that almost lost his mind
A lot of times
Back in the lab
I always give it a go and a stab
Whether here at the pad
Or across any span of land
Damn,
You say you do, but you don't really understand
Overhead the moon a sliver
As I traveled beside a river
With a pendant made of silver
In an area that was unfamiliar
Full of caterpillars
And other critters
Whether runners, flyers or swimmers
The terrain riddled with tinder
And stickers
Especially where the brush or trees were thicker
When losing sight of the bigger picture
Had to reconsider
In order to remain the victor
Golden grasses
Situated alongside class one rapids
Multi-colored petals and leaves
As well as Emerald Trees
And sunken vessels in seas
Crimson skies
With clouds of many shapes and a different size
Magenta colored grapes on the grapevine
Stick to the agenda never waste time
No time to slip
Got to find a grip
Quick
On the edge of a cliff
Above a crick
Out in the sticks
Full of brush that cuts or pricks
And many ticks
Due to the frost,
Unfamiliarity, and feeling lost
Until thinking outside the box
By looking atop the rocks
And using the moss
At seven oh clock
During the midst of an equinox
A successful day
That was carried out in a special way
And for now I let the instrumental play
