Fingerprints & Footsteps

I'll see you in all of the places
I suppose
In both the tough and simple spaces
I know
I expect every mile
And mountain
Each roadside diner
And map dot 
Holds
The possibility and the not 
Of you
The pedestal and the truth
Of you
Had I the insight
To the strength of your tarnish
Would I have walked life
Alone
I can't know
Would that you'd see me
In all of the places
I've touched, but I know
You'll choose the not

Red 

I would give back the stars
The observer’s eyes
The galaxy’s bounty
My ev’ry step returned to me
And the Earth be flat 

Than continue seeking welcome
Convinced there be an open door
Its false promise
The brazen hearth
While black wolves surround
