The Best Thing On Earth
the best thing on earth is when you breathe
and the night, like a lollipop, lures you by
bringing you sweet sleep, sometimes
and other times, taking it away,
and when you're alone, and taxes don't scare you anymore,
and the rent no longer is waiting for you,
the wife is threatening no one,
children stopped screaming, we want,
Dad doesn't leave, but he doesn't wake up either,
the best thing is God -
like a man patched up with love,
God takes you in his arms, and
you close your eyes and
dream how the best thing on earth
is to breathe
