Oh you’re not
Perfect and neither
Am I really
But every night
I pray that
Everyone and everywhere
Can simply drink
From the same
Cup and feel
The warmth that
We always do
That they have
But a sip
From the jug
We freely share
And finally hear
The birdsongs and
See the sky
And feel the
Warmth right here
Radiating and touching
Everyone and everything
Why be selfish
With such love
When the world
Itself is thirsty
And there simply
You brought my
Music back to
Me with simple
Words and caring
My dear old
Friends once again
Sing the melodies
To me that
Have changed my
Life too long
Silent and too
Long alone finally
The songs again
All thanks to
You my friend
Thank you for
My music again
And at last
There you lay
Head in lap
Looking at me
Looking at you
Funny thing happened
There in that
We both disappeared
Went somewhere else
We know where
Of course we
Know don’t we
The same place
We always go
When we’re together
The little treehouse
Called our hearts
Sometimes in life
You find one
One that understands
Takes away time
And all concern
Simply lets you
Be just you
And when together
A miracle happens
Something so unexpected
The world stops
And takes notice
But notice them
We do not
In those minutes
All we see
Is just us
Who we are
To each other
One tiny moment
At a time
A yolk surrounded
By white hung
Above flanked by
Strips of clouds
Shards of sunlight
Like shredded paper
Grew long on
The shadowed street
Glints of sun
Danced on bumpers
Just like candlelight
Green and browned
Lawns appeared like
Sprawling checker boards
Birdsong returned calls
Outside my window
Like far-off radios
At long last
The sun returned
Here to Charlotte
Bringing with it
This Sunday morning
