Taste the Sky

Shall we taste the sky You and I Get on our knees breathe in the dirt Not in a dress not in a skirt With our hands the shade gun metal gray Watch worms ply their journey Ants on ant time Or lie on our backs Watch heaven go by Shall we marvel the joy The beauty felt As God in his wisdom Reveals the cards that he dealt Shall we ponder a rose, a leaf or a twig And wonder just wonder if we could take one little swig To drink in the lemons drink in the lime In this pursuit we don't bother the time Not even a worry With strife but a scar The sun will keep calling Why you travelling so far? But not distance we go But depth in the now Watching dandelion seed Lifting its brow Marvelling at the design With God at the Wheel Yet not drifting off Keeping it real When I chew on a bumblebee And dance with the flies I rejoice in this moment Let the world go on by Following the roots you may Think that they are going somewhere Yet they serve a master whose staying right here Shall we taste the sky You and I
