Wood Chips
You are the wood chips on my feet
It stings me in satisfaction oh so neat
Your childlike memories got me complete
I need you and I want you, so take a seat
We met in the spiralling spur of the moment
We complete each other, my lovely angel so Godsent
You changed me in ways I can't undo
Can't fathom the crazy things that you do
I'm stepping on wood and glass shavings
I'm wondering what your precious joy brings
I'm stepping on the ground, feeling elevating gravity
Knee deep without a sound, feeling myself ascending with glee
I want to bring you to your heartfelt home
You'll be like a happy-go-lucky garden gnome
You are the woodchips of my heart
You are the residue of vivacious art
You bring me to the swings of delight
You heal me with words of wisdom alight
Wiping off the dirt from my super tiny toes
You are giving me happiness beyond woes
Carress me with your clever, ever-swaying ways
Crown me with your unique, elegant, royal praise
You have given me a million splinters, but I don't mind
As long as I can pull them out just fine without becoming blind
You sprinkle salt and pepper
Upon my distasteful flavor
You sprinkle filth and soap
Upon these emotions that I find hard to cope
If I can smell the roses of your beauty,
I would be smothered with eloquent equity
If I can taste the honey of your jolly joy,
I would adore it and crave it like a toy to a little boy
Behave and be brave and walk that walk
Soon, you will be a wood piece again
Like sand to a mighty rock as you talk that talk
You're a butterfly out of its cocoon or a cub out of his den
You will be whole as life takes its toll
You will be complete
Wishing for the same for me and all
Now, go above my feet!
