They Were Pink I Think
I dreamed last night of elephants
Gaily dancing around
In a vision of the night these pachyderms and
thoughts began to resound
In one scene a card came in the mail
an elephant in party hat
Inside in beautiful scrolling script it said
I,ve written to tell you that
You see I am starting to drink to
In hopes to make you think
Then a happy song began to play
As music to his ears
That flapped like bed sheets in the wind
The moment it appears
I hear you've carried a grudge he sang
In vibrato let it go
the life giving music of God's love
Strike the band let it Once more flow
For it cannot reside in this place
How apropos an elephant known
to never forget
brightly placed on a true vision board
a new track my mind to beset
I forgive you,I release you
I have set you free
You carry now with you no cumbersome
baggage from me
Nor I from you we two are free
With unscaled eyes clearly to see
What days new dawning will trace
That we will set down in indelible ink
It truly boils down to intention I think
With this I wish you the best
