With what happened
With what is no more
With what cannot ever be
With that there’ll be flowers again
Is mine to decide
With what happened
With what is no more
With what cannot ever be
With that there’ll be flowers again
Is mine to decide
Oh ears of mine heart
Make peace with those of these eyes
Lest the noise take me
Today, each day I say if I look up,
and this is a childish thing, I know, but
all I hope for is that
we look one another in the eyes
as we make peace and steal back time.
Take away my need
To cling, to throw back to days
Before I knew you
Northbound perhaps?
With the cold for your friend
Would that you’d walk
To the end of the Earth
And fall straight-away
For all that you’ve cost your heart
With the wrong kind of noise
Then the most silent voice
Could continue in peace
To champion somebody else
One lazy sofa chair
The color of toasted hay
To set and stare out with you
There before the picture window
Ella in the air
Louis hamming
A roundest table considers with us
The calm and the busy
Whatever would we talk about
I trust that by now
Your hands have healed completely
And her gloves are off
Your door I’ll keep closed
And your peace will be my peace
Sister please hold him
He sat proudly
Above her
Honored to have his hands on her shoulders
She sat smiling
At his feet
Confident her heart was in his care
His pride, her smile
His hands, her heart
His care, her shoulders
I needed a photo, so I looked again
And shuttered my eyes
Their peace, my peace
