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
